What you’ll do
We begin our tour walking to the San Cristobal hill, trek to the top and enjoy one of the best views of Santiago. Upon the incline there are several options to cool off, eat a snack and rest for a while ( (if you don’t want to walk, you can get on the bus). Then, we will descend and walk from Barrio Bellavista, crossing the Commercial District Patronato to the market area. First we will visit La Vega, the largest food market in Santiago, where anyone can purchase delicious food if they feel inclined. Then we will go through La Vega Chica and Tirso Molina until we reach the Central Market, now transformed into a place specializing in the sale of seafood and local Chilean food. Next to the market, there is a place where you can also taste the famous Empanada de Pino. We will continue sightseeing the Center of Santiago, and visit some emblematic places such as the Plaza de Armas, the Cathedral, the Ex-Congress, the Courts of Justice, the Paseo Banderas and the Palacio de la Moneda. Anyway, if there is any special interest to visit somewhere, we can also include it in the tour.
ON MONDAYS THERE IS NO FUNICULAR
Other things to note
It is a long walk through the city, including a climb to the hill, which should be taken into account before we begin. Bring money in case you fancy some of the food suggestions on the tour.
