If I had to choose just one activity in Santiago, this is the first one I would recommend. Carlos addressed centuries of history, architecture and culture in an outstanding way but also, he allowed the interaction and dialogue among the group, in a very unexpected way, I had one of the most interesting experience and conversation I've ever had on a trip
