Description

Experience the Sanhattan Walking Tour, were you’ll dive into the heart of Santiago’s contemporary financial district. Start your journey in Las Condes, once a quiet suburb that has blossomed into the city’s bustling financial hub. As you stroll through this modern landscape, you’ll witness architectural marvels like the Edificio Cruz del Sur, a testament to Chile’s economic growth. Along the way, learn about the history of this rapidly evolving area and hear fun facts about its transformation into the “Beverly Hills” of Santiago. You’ll pass by the Escuela Militar Bernardo O'Higgins, where Chile's military legacy is evident in its historical architecture and the occasional military drills. A brief coffee stop (optional) offers a moment to unwind, and soon you'll find yourself at Plaza Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, a symbol of Chile’s international connections, showcasing a monument dedicated to the founder of modern Turkey. Next, you’ll visit the quieter Plaza Loreto, an urban oasis where locals escape the fast-paced life of the financial district, before walking down Isidora Goyenechea Avenue, a fine-dining hub. Explore the fascinating history behind this street, which was once home to one of the wealthiest women in Chile. As you continue the journey, discover the cultural significance of the Las Condes Municipal Theatre and its impressive sculpture walk. You’ll also encounter Plaza Perú, a meeting point filled with history, before heading to the iconic Titanium Tower, the second tallest building in Chile. Learn about its cutting-edge design and its earthquake-resistant technology that allows it to withstand the forces of nature. The tour also takes you through Titanium Park, a public green space within Santiago’s financial district, with views of the surrounding hills. Along the way, hear about Santiago’s evolving geography and how the surrounding peaks like Manquehue and San Cristóbal are now part of the cityscape. End your tour - or take a break - at the nearby newly opened Mercado Urbano Tobalaba MUT, a modern food market that captures the essence of Santiago’s vibrant culinary scene, offering everything from empanadas to fresh ceviche. The open air and mix-use concept of the MUT blends architecture, with culture and nature, making it a modern oasis within the Sanhattan. If decide to take it a step further, you can end your tour at the top of the Costanera Center, Latin America’s tallest skyscraper. Here, you have the option to visit the Sky Costanera 360 Observatory and take in breathtaking views of the city and the Andes Mountains. This tour combines stunning architecture, rich history, and local flavors, providing a comprehensive look at Santiago’s modern identity. Whether you choose to visit the Sky Costanera or simply take in the sights, you'll walk away with a deeper appreciation for Chile’s bustling metropolis.
