Description

Designed for curious travelers and food lovers, this tour offers a side of Santiago most tourists miss. Forget the standard downtown itineraries; we take you on a journey through the city's modern evolution, contrasting architectural innovation with deep-rooted culinary heritage. Your experience begins with ultimate convenience as our private transportation picks you up directly from your hotel to ensure comfortable logistics between stops. Our first stop is MUT (Mercado Urbano Tobalaba), Santiago’s newest and most striking urban market. While sleek and cosmopolitan, MUT showcases how exciting international flavors have integrated into contemporary Chilean cuisine. Here, we’ll take a break for a seasonal snack chosen by the guide and the group depending on the weather—think comforting, artisanal ice cream if it's warm, or delicious, authentic empanadas del sur. Next, we head to La Vega in Providencia, a vibrant and agitated market hub. Packed with fresh fruits, local produce, and non-stop energy, it is an exceptional spot to capture authentic photos and feel the local pulse of the neighborhood. We wrap up the journey in Barrio Italia, one of Santiago’s most trending, picturesque, and design-forward areas. After exploring its lively streets, we will step inside a historic restaurant dating back to 1912. Surrounded by over a century of local history, you will conclude the tour by tasting the most authentic, traditional flavors of Chile.
