Description

Want to see the Santiago that postcards don't show? Let's go beyond the La Moneda Palace and Plaza de Armas. On this tour, you'll be guided by a Mapuche woman who knows the ancestral history of her people and the city's transformations like no one else. It's a 4- to 5-hour tour done at a leisurely pace, with room for conversation and all your questions.
