Tour description
Did you know that Santiago is considered the spearhead of the Latin American economy, but also a city marked by the shadows of its past?
In this express 45-minute tour, we will walk from Tobalaba, in the heart of Providencia, to the Parque de las Esculturas, passing through the financial district known as “Sanhattan”. We will see how the glass and steel skyscrapers tell the story of an “economic miracle,” but also of deep inequalities born during Pinochet's dictatorship.
During the tour, we will explore:
- Av. Apoquindo: from a residential neighborhood to a corporate epicenter.
- Costanera Center: the tallest skyscraper in Latin America and a symbol of the Chilean economic model.
- Streets of Sanhattan: banks, multinationals, and globalization live.
- Parque de las Esculturas: a cultural closure in front of the Mapocho River, perfect for reflecting on how memory and art dialogue with the modernity of Santiago.
