About This Tour
Discover Santiago, the vibrant capital of Chile, on a captivating city tour that blends history, culture, and stunning scenery. Begin your experience with a panoramic ride on the San Cristóbal Hill cable car, offering breathtaking views of the Andes Mountains and the city below. (On Mondays, when the cable car is closed for maintenance, we’ll replace this with a relaxing stop for a specialty coffee or artisanal ice cream at a local café.) Stroll through iconic neighborhoods like Barrio Lastarria and Bellavista, full of charming architecture, vibrant street art, and lively local culture. Visit important landmarks such as La Moneda Palace, the seat of Chile’s government, and the Metropolitan Cathedral, a beautiful example of colonial architecture. Throughout the tour, you’ll gain insight into Santiago’s past and present, while experiencing how locals — the santiaguinos — live and breathe this fascinating city every day.
