The capital of Chile is a vibrant city full of character, with a thriving artistic culture, modern restaurants and lively nightlife. Surrounded by mountains - the mighty Andes to the east and the smaller coastal range to the west - on a clear day, Santiago boasts one of the most incredible urban scenes in the world. Old-world colonial mansions and eclectic neighborhoods seamlessly integrate the skyscrapers of "Sanhattan" into a captivating fusion of tradition and modernity. With world-class skiing, wine routes, biking and trekking right at your doorstep, Santiago is a city full of stimulating possibilities.
Our tour starts with pick up from the airport, where our driver will be looking for you with a sign with your name. When you finally meet, our driver will drive to Santiago.
We will start with a panoramic visit to the Central Market, where you can admire the architecture of the place and learn a bit more about its history. Next, we will head to Plaza de Armas, the heart of the city, where we can admire the impressive Santiago Cathedral with its colonial architecture. However, it is possible that the cathedral may be closed for a special event or activity. We will then continue with a walk to the Palacio de la Moneda, the seat of the Chilean government, and Plaza de la Constitución, where we will learn more about Chile's history and its institutions. Depending on the month and day, it is possible to witness the Changing of the Guard, a solemn event that regularly takes place, but this stop may be omitted due to internal activities at the Palacio de la Moneda. We will then head to Cerro Santa Lucía, one of the most iconic hills of the city, where we will stop for a short walk and enjoy panoramic views of Santiago. Our tour continues with a panoramic visit of the iconic Lastarría and Bellavista neighborhoods, known for their cultural offerings, cuisine, and art, giving us a panoramic view of local life. It is a perfect spot to soak in the atmosphere of Santiago and its historic charm. Next, we will visit Parque Bicentenario, a beautiful green space, where you will have time for a relaxing walk in a natural environment.
Optionally, if preferred by the passengers, a visit to Bluestone, a lapis lazuli store, the national stone of Chile, can be arranged, where we can admire and/or purchase beautiful jewelry and local crafts.
You can return back to the airport to get on your flight to your final destination or, if you're arriving on a flight and you want a PRIVATE city tour and then dropped off at your Hotel or any other place, this is your best option because we can arrange as well as you preffer!
