• 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.
• La Moneda - During the 1973 coup d’état, the building occupied by Allende and his supporters was bombed by cannons from the Chilean Army and Sura 3 rockets from two British-made Hawker Hunter aircraft of the Chilean Air Force, leaving it partially destroyed. The north facade 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 twenty-five meters south, near the Plaza de la Libertad (now Plaza de la Ciudadanía). This attack also resulted in the loss of invaluable treasures accumulated over years of governance, including the Act of Independence of 1818 and the original O’Higgins pickaxe.
• Barrio Paris Londres - This area was once the communal headquarters of the Chilean Socialist Party, which, following the coup d’état on September 11, 1973, and until the end of 1974, became a clandestine detention and torture center for the DINA. During this initial period of repression, the methods of torture, disappearance, and extermination used here were extremely brutal. A tribute to Modesto Segundo Espinoza stands in front of Londres 38. Its significance lies in being the first link in a chain of detention centers used by the DINA in the Metropolitan Region, targeting the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR) and other Chilean leftist organizations, such as the Socialist and Communist parties, including clandestine facilities at José Domingo Cañas N° 1367, Venda Sexy, and Villa Grimaldi.

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.
