Old-world colonial mansions and eclectic neighborhoods seamlessly integrate with the skyscrapers of “Sanhattan” in a captivating fusion of tradition and modernity.

On this tour, you can get to know and explore the city’s main avenue, learning its history and that of its surroundings.

From its terraces, you can appreciate a panoramic view of Santiago, as well as admire relics and constructions from the colonial era, such as Castillo Hidalgo (Hidalgo Castle).

During the tour, you can appreciate emblematic city sites such as Plaza de Armas, the Santiago Cathedral and its impressive architecture, as well as the former national congress, the imposing government house called “La Moneda,” and next to it, Plaza de la Constitución.
