Tour description

In this Changing of the Guard Palace of Moneda and Pre-Hispanic Chile Tour, you will be able to learn about the main landmarks of Republican Chile in an entertaining activity, which includes the changing of the Presidential Guard in front of the Palacio de la Moneda, a Republican tradition since 1851, until its demystification in around the Santiago Foundation, at the foot of Cerro Santa Lucia.

We will meet next to the Entel Tower, the largest telecommunications tower in Santiago, where we will explain some aspects of it and then we will locate ourselves in front of the Presidential Palace and observe the traditional changing of the guard of Carabineros.

Once the ceremony is over, we will stay in front of La Moneda, to talk about its history and recent events, such as the 1973 coup and the death of President Salvador Allende.

Some milestones of this journey are:

  • Front of the Moneda Palace
  • Coin Palace
  • Palace of the Courts of Justice
  • Former – National Congress
  • Plaza de Armas of Santiago
  • Old San Carlos Gallery
  • red house
  • Municipal Theater of Santiago
  • Santa Lucia Hill

This activity will end at the foot of Cerro Santa Lucia, the original founding place of Santiago by Pedro de Valdivia in 1541 and we will shape the pre-Hispanic past of this city, where our services conclude.

    We will meet in front of the Entel Communications Tower on AMUNATEGUI street number 20. To get there you can get off the Moneda Metro (Subway) and walk a few steps. I will be dressed in a black T-shirt or jacket and a black hat, both items with the legend CHILE. In addition, I will have a Chilean flag in my hands and we are very punctual, please take the appropriate measures to arrive on time.
