Operator's Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Santiago; Sensations City Tour; Hotel Singular
Upon arrival in Santiago, a private transfer and guide will be waiting for you at the airport to drive you to your hotel.
After a leisurely check-in, you will enjoy a half-day private guided tour of Santiago, experiencing the city's diverse highlights with all your senses.
Visit the historic Santa Lucia Hill, in Barrio Bella Vista consisting of parkland, rising 69m above the surrounding areas and now adorned with ornate facades, stairways and fountains. It was on this hill that the city was founded in 1541.
Continue to the Paris-Londres neighbourhood, home to some of the most impressive colonial architecture before slowing down to briefly unwind with the locals and take in a curiosity unique to Santiago – coffee at one of the notorious and racy 'café con piernas'.
From there, you pass through some of the city's most interesting streets, filled with history from the different waves of immigrants in this ethnically diverse city. Then wander around the art nouveau Mercado Central (Central Market), considered by National Geographic as one of the world's top ten food markets and known for its cuisine and exotic fish stores.
You will also visit the Vega Chica Market boasting some of the best flavours, scents and colours of this metropolis where you will try a traditional Chilean drink, the Cola de Mono.
The penultimate highlight is a walk through a renowned flower market filled with colourful displays and beautiful scents before ending your tour by exploring the lovely Lastarria neighbourhood.
