At La Moneda Palace, Chile’s presidential seat, we pause to admire its neoclassical grandeur before heading to Plaza de Armas, the heart of the city.

At Plaza San Luis, we wander through picturesque streets adorned with striking street art, each mural reflecting the city’s bohemian soul.
A visit to Yugoslavo Viewpoint rewards us with breathtaking panoramic views, while the cobbled streets of Cerro Alegre invite us to soak in its artistic charm. As we stroll along Paseo Atkinson, past colonial mansions and the quaint Anglican Church, we are transported to another era.
After a lunch pause, we take time to explore at our own pace, browsing through local art and crafts shops. Our day concludes at Sotomayor Square, where the grandeur of the Navy building and the War of the Pacific monument stand as proud testaments to Chile’s maritime legacy. In the evening, we return to Santiago for a restful night.
