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!

El tour con Diego fue muy bueno. Se siente que sabe mucho sobre su ciudad y la historia en general y también que es atento a cada uno de los participantes, haciendo referencia a sus países, gustos etc... Recomiendo mucho este tour que permite conocer lugares ocultos del barrio, entrando a los lugares y experimentando.

Diego was a fantastic guide! We felt immersed in the neighborhood and not just like superficial visitors. The art was amazing, being able to actually go into some of the locations for a more immersive experience was incredible, and the bakery he took us to was 🤤 Highly recommend Diego's tour to anyone wanting to explore Yungay!!
