Highlights
  • Cerro San Cristobal - Discover Santiago’s must-see spot: Cerro San Cristobal, also known as the Metropolitan Park, a mountain nestled within the city. Embark on a journey filled with diverse attractions as we ascend via the cable car! While we rise, the sprawling neighborhoods of Santiago gradually unfold beneath us. Upon reaching the summit, be prepared for an awe-inspiring panorama, offering a true sense of the city’s vastness and layout. Our adventure doesn’t end there; we’ll explore the sanctuary perched atop, home to a striking statue of the Virgin Mary, visible from afar, gracing the skyline of Santiago.
  • BlueStone - Lapislazuli Design - Uncover the enchantment of the semiprecious blue stone, found nowhere else but in Chile and Afghanistan: “lapis lazuli.” Step into a world where craftsmanship meets artistry, where every piece tells a story of elegance and heritage.

Here, amidst a treasure trove of wonders, feast your eyes on exquisite crafts and dazzling jewelry, meticulously crafted from this rare gemstone. But that’s not all—immerse yourself in the splendor of Chilean materials, from the rich hues of copper, the nation’s pride, to the shimmering allure of silver and beyond. The perfect stop for authentic souvenirs.

  • Cerro Santa Lucia - Experience the urban oasis of Cerro Santa Lucía, nestled amidst the bustling city center. Rising 226 feet from the very heart of the city, this hill offers unparalleled views of the nearby buildings and a glimpse into the city’s evolution from its humble beginnings to its present expansive form. Our journey begins with a scenic van ride, ascending to the midpoint of the hill, with the option to further explore by climbing stairs to its summit.
  • Plaza de La Constitucion - This square is located in the heart of downtown, in front of the La Moneda Palace, which serves as the seat of government in Chile. Here, you can capture stunning photographs of the palace and delve deeper into Chilean history by exploring the various monuments scattered around the square.

You’ll also be able to admire other buildings surrounding the square, many of which house ministries and significant entities of the country’s political power.

We’ll walk around the palace exterior to reach the country’s main avenue, where you’ll find the largest Chilean flag you’ll ever see. It’s an excellent spot for more photos!

  • Costanera Center - We’ll visit Chile’s largest shopping center, the Costanera Center. Here, you’ll have time to enjoy lunch at one of its many culinary options and explore the wide variety of stores spread across its five floors. These floors are part of the highest tower in South America, the Costanera Tower.
  • Sky Costanera - Optional:

While we are at the Costanera Center, you will have the option to embark on an unforgettable journey up South America’s tallest building. Prepare to be whisked away to a special corner, where a high-speed elevator will propel you to the 61st floor, home to the Sky Costanera observation deck. From there, immerse yourself in breathtaking 360-degree views of the city, accompanied by informative descriptions of its iconic landmarks. For the adventurous souls among you, ascend one more floor to the rooftop, where the vistas are truly unparalleled. And if you’re in the mood for a toast, the highest bar in South America awaits you.

The ascension to floors 61 and the rooftop has an extra cost of about 20 US dollars per person, which is charged by the tower employees before entering the elevator.
