Let us introduce you to the classic city we know and love, beautiful Santiago. The Chilean capital city, located in the Central Valley, is home to some 7 million people. Rapid economic growth has made it one of the most developed cities in South America, establishing a unique urban environment that artfully unites classic and modern.
Chile´s rich cultural heritage comes to life through iconic symbols of the city including la Plaza de Armas (the main square), Santa Lucia Hill, La Moneda (the Government Palace), the Post Office and the Santiago Metropolitan Cathedral. Then head to Cerro San Cristobal, a tall hill rising nearly 1000 feet above the city, located inside the city’s largest urban park. Standing atop the hill you’ll find a church as well as a stunning 72 foot tall statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Finally we will visit the Orient Sector, the most modern area of the city with its impressive high rise buildings and classy boulevards.
During the tour, time is available to enjoy an optional lunch on your own at a variety of locations including:
- Central Market: Enjoy the experience of lunch in the atmosphere of a classic Chilean market host to only the freshest of seafood.
- Borde de Rio Boulevard: Decadent dishes to satisfy your every culinary desire at one of the premier restaurants of the boulevard.
- Shopping Center: Combine two of life’s greatest pleasures, food and shopping, with a quick lunch among over 300 well-known International stores.
