This 2.5-hour walking tour connects you with the cultural and architectural richness of Santiago’s most historic neighborhood, where past and present intertwine at every corner. We start at the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, which honors the victims of Chile’s dictatorship and tells stories of struggle and justice. From there, we stroll through historic streets with old houses once home to prominent figures, including the century-old French Barber Shop and the residence of Ignacio Domeyko, a Polish scientist who contributed to Chile’s geology and mineralogy. At Yungay Square, you will see the statue of the Roto Chileno, a tribute to the common people and their victory at the Battle of Yungay in 1839. Facing the square stands San Saturnino Church, inaugurated in 1887, an architectural and spiritual icon of the neighborhood. The tour ends at the Capuchin Church next to Cumming metro station, closing a journey through history, culture, and community.
