Hidden Gems of Yungay: 9th coolest neighbourhood in the world.
Hi! I'm Diego. I-m born and raised in Santiago and I've been a tour guide for the last 8 years in the central zone of Chile. I also have studies in English teaching so I'm effectively fluent in English. i-m a born traveler, father of a baby boy and arts aficionado. I have cycled more than 5 thousand kilometers along Chile and also part of Argentina. I've done several hikes as well so I can give lots of recomendations for those who are looking for outdoor adventures. Join me to see the best of Santiago with a real speaker of English!

Tour description
9th coolest neighbourhood in the world- Barrio Yungay
If you're looking for an out-of-the mainstream tour in Santiago de Chile, in this tour you could explore some of the best alleys in Santiago where graffiti have taken over the first neighbourhood ever planned in Chile.
According to Timeout, Yungay is currently having a renaissance due to its with "accessible, cutting-edge culture and nightlife; brilliant and affordable food and drink" at some incredible holes on the wall.
On this tour we're visiting the most remarkable places in this area (cause it's huge, we're doing only 1/4 of its size:

- The human rights museum
- Museum of education (Gabriela Mistral's former school)
- "Cité" concept
- Sound Museum
- The current president's house (believe it or not).
- Casona compañía
- The french barber shop and its restaurant.
- Stop at the Selvaggio bakery before "once time"
- "Casa Gárgola"
- Plaza Yungay
- Álamos palace
- Metro Cumming (final stop)
Come and join me to explore the B-side of downtown Santiago.

I really enjoyed this tour, and my girlfriend like it too but a bit less. The main thing is that this is primarily a graffiti tour, so you should know that and be keen to spend most of your time checking out the art and finding out about the artists. That was great for me, but she was hoping for more of a general history of the people and neighborhood and how that fit into Santiago as a whole (to be fair, Diego did adjust the tour slightly for us when he found out we didn't know that stuff already, and did add in more history, which was great). Diego is very knowledgeable and was good at connecting the dots with a lot of information on the tour, so I'd recommend this for anyone interested in street art and the architecture of Yunguy.
