Tour Details
We'll begin this guided walking tour of Sanhattan at Calle Gral. Francisco Barceló, number 44. From there, we'll begin to walk along the financial district in Santiago de Chile, known for its skyline of modern skyscrapers and cosmopolitan environment. Let's go!
We'll first head to the emblematic building of Cruz del Sur, which stands out for its design and its distinctive cross shape. Here, we'll start to learn about the recent history of the country, shaped by its opening to foreign investment and the growth of its financial services sector.
Then, we'll set off to the Escuela Militar, an important stop on this tour to understand Chile's military tradition. We'll walk around this military school and see the statues and monuments that will depict the Chilean military's past. Our tour will continue toward Isidora Goyenechea, one of the most elegant streets in Santiago.
Next, we'll reach Parque Titanium. This city park is surrounded by three large office towers, offering pretty views of the Mapocho River. We'll take this opportunity to take pictures and relax before continuing.
Our next stop? The Mercado Urbano Tobalaba, one of the most recent additions to the Chilean capital. Did you know it's inspired by the Chelsea Market in New York? This shopping mall has over 300 stores, art galleries, cafés, and terraces with innovative gastronomic options.
After exploring its modern, industrial-style halls, we'll say our goodbyes 2.5 to 3 hours later.
