  • Step into the heart of Santiago with our “Skyline Santiago” tour, where you’ll experience the city from new heights. Starting at Baquedano Metro Station, you’ll stroll through Plaza Italia, crossing the bustling Alameda and Mapocho River, before entering the lively Bellavista area. Known for its vibrant nightlife and artistic spirit, Bellavista offers a unique blend of local restaurants, artisan shops, and the chance to enjoy some of Santiago’s most colourful streets.

    After a brief stop in Patio Bellavista, we’ll make our way to Constitución Street, lined with eateries offering a taste of Chile’s traditional seafood dishes. Continuing through the charming Camilo Mori Square, you’ll encounter vintage-style boutique hotels before we pass Pablo Neruda’s famous house, La Chascona. This poet's former residence, now a museum, tells the tale of Neruda’s unique life and creative genius.

    The next leg of our journey brings us to the Metropolitan Park, where we’ll ascend the San Cristóbal Hill via the historic funicular. From the summit, take in panoramic views of Santiago’s sprawling cityscape. Enjoy a traditional Chilean drink, “mote con huesillos”, before heading up to the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception statue, a key religious site for locals and visitors alike.

    Next, we’ll board the iconic cable car for a serene descent through the park, offering more unbeatable views of the city and the surrounding mountains. Our journey concludes at the Pedro de Valdivia entrance, where we’ll stroll through a peaceful residential area known for its English-style gardens. Along the way, enjoy a visit to the Sculpture Park, showcasing Chile’s best contemporary art.

    The “Skyline Santiago” walking tour offers a dynamic blend of history, nature, and urban culture, all with stunning views of one of South America’s most vibrant cities.
