Tour description

This Free Tour shows us a beautiful city full of contrasts and myths. Founded in 1541 on an ancient Inca settlement, Santiago is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world and we will talk about the colonial history of this country and its formation as an independent nation in the 19th century.

But it's not just history, we will talk about the mysteries that surround this metropolis, especially haunted buildings, urban myths and the lineage of one of the most prolific serial killers of the colonial era, whose spirit still haunts these streets.

We will end our tour at the Palacio de la Moneda, where we will learn about the recent history of Chile and the 1973 Coup d'état.

Some highlights of the tour will be the following:

*Plaza de Armas and Town Hall building.

*Cathedral and tomb of heroes of the country, among them the Carrera Verdugo Family.

*Casa colorada (Independence Process)

* Church of the Augustinians, seat of one of the mysteries of Santiago.

*State, Orfanos and Bandera streets.

*National Congress and former Jesuit Church and its great fire of 1860.

*Palace of the Courts of Justice.

*Palacio de la Moneda and Coup d'état of 1973.

Finally, you can always count on our best information to have lunch or visit other places in the city designed for our visitors.
