Santiago EssentialsHistory, Identity, and Culture

🍫 I recommend bringing a bottle of water and a small snack!

✨Welcome to Santiago de Chile!!
You probably already felt the temperature, you probably already saw the giant mountains surrounding our capital, but do you know the history behind it?
The city of Santiago has an enigmatic personality that I invite you to discover together. We will learn about history and culture through the city's heritage, with curious stories and local slang. You will have a complete, fun, and definitely interesting experience touring the civic district and getting to know the ✨Essentials of Santiago✨.
