• Santiago - The tour begins at La Moneda Palace and continues to the entrance of San Cristobal Hill. This involves a fair amount of walking, typically taking between 3 to 4 hours, depending on the pace of the group. This is mentioned to ensure clarity and avoid any misunderstandings. Along the way, we will pause at all the locations listed below.
• La Moneda - Originally the mint-house for the Spanish crown, it now serves as the government palace and the president’s office (entry is not permitted).
• Ex Congreso Nacional - This former congress building from the mid-1800s showcases stunning Neo-classical architecture (entry is not permitted).
• Plaza de Armas - Santiago’s main square, known as the “Damero,” is the city’s central point. The Spanish introduced this square layout to the New World, and it serves as the city’s largest square, from which the city expanded.
