In the heart of the city, you'll be surprised to encounter a beautiful French-style formal garden at Cerro Santa Lucía. Its delightful ponds, statues, and terraces will transport you back in time. Afterwards, we'll head to Plaza de Armas to see some of the city's most famous monuments, such as the Metropolitan Cathedral, the National History Museum, and the local government offices.
Then, we will explore the historic centre of Santiago until we reach La Moneda Palace, an example of Chile's neoclassical architectural heritage and a symbol of the country's political history. Next, we'll go to the Bellavista neighbourhood, Reyes Park, and the National Museum of Fine Arts.
