• Cementerio General (General Cemetery) - Discover the historic streets and landmarks of Santiago that played a significant role during Pinochet’s dictatorship. This tour will take you back to Chile in 1973.
• Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos - The Museum of Memory and Human Rights is a public museum in Santiago, Chile, dedicated to honoring the victims of human rights abuses during Augusto Pinochet’s military dictatorship (1973-1990). It is situated at Matucana Avenue 501, opposite the Quinta Normal metro station. The museum was inaugurated by President Michelle Bachelet on January 11, 2010, as part of the Bicentennial celebrations of Chile.
• Parque por la Paz Villa Grimaldi - Villa Grimaldi, located in the foothills of the Andes in the commune of Peñalolén, Santiago, was one of the largest detention and torture centers during Augusto Pinochet’s military regime. It has been transformed into the Villa Grimaldi Peace Park Museum through the efforts of the Villa Grimaldi Peace Park Corporation, supported by social organizations, local residents, human rights groups, and families of the detained and disappeared.
• La Moneda - During the 1973 coup d’état, the building occupied by Allende and his supporters was bombed by Chilean Army cannons and Sura 3 rockets from two British-made Hawker Hunter aircraft of the Chilean Air Force, resulting in partial destruction. The north façade and the pavilion between the Los Cañones and Los Naranjos courtyards were most affected by the rockets and the fire that spread from the corner of Moneda and Teatinos streets to about 25 meters south, near Plaza de la Libertad (now Plaza de la Ciudadanía). This attack also led to the loss of invaluable treasures accumulated over years of governance, including the 1818 Declaration of Independence, the original O’Higgins pickaxe, and the renowned portrait of Bernardo O’Higgins by José Gil de Castro.

We’ll begin our day by picking you up from your accommodations in Santiago, then journey to our first destination - Cementerio General, the city’s graveyard.

The cemetery essentially functions as a fresh-air gallery, built nearly two hundred years ago. Here, we’ll explore Chile’s recent history by visiting the resting places of various noteworthy individuals. Of particular interest is Patio 29, a site of historical significance due to the clandestine burials of thousands during the rule of Augusto Pinochet.

Our next stop is the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, a venue dedicated to illustrating the atrocities committed during the 1973-1990 military dictatorship.

Ending our tour at Villa Grimaldi, we’ll visit a former community arts center occupying three acres of land. This site, however, bears the scar of Pinochet’s regime, as it was repurposed into a political detention and torture center known as Cuartel Terranova.
