Tour Details
We'll begin this guided walking tour of Sanhattan at Calle Gral. Francisco Barceló, number 44. From there, we'll start our walk through the financial district in Santiago de Chile, renowned for its skyline of modern skyscrapers and vibrant atmosphere. Let's go!
Our first stop will be the iconic building of Cruz del Sur, notable for its unique design and cross shape. Here, we will learn about the recent history of Chile, which has been shaped by foreign investment and the expansion of its financial services sector.
Next, we will visit the Escuela Militar, a significant point on this tour that highlights Chile's military heritage. As we stroll around this military school, we will observe various statues and monuments that represent the Chilean military's past. Our tour continues towards Isidora Goyenechea, one of Santiago's most refined streets.
We will then reach Parque Titanium, a city park bordered by three large office towers, which offers lovely views of the Mapocho River. Take this opportunity to capture some photos and relax before we proceed.
Our next destination is the Mercado Urbano Tobalaba, a recent addition to the Chilean capital, inspired by the Chelsea Market in New York. This shopping venue features over 300 stores, art galleries, cafés, and terraces with innovative gastronomic options.
After exploring its modern industrial-style halls, we'll conclude our tour around 2.5 to 3 hours later.
Sky Costanera Ticket
Enhance your Sanhattan experience by booking an option that includes a skip-the-line ticket to the Sky Costanera viewpoint. After the guided walking tour, we will proceed to the Sky Costanera building, where you will receive your tickets.
