Itinerary for your Pre-Programme
Starting at your hotel, this guided coach tour first takes you downtown, passing Plaza de Armas, Santiago’s main square. Here you’ll see the striking 18th century Santiago Metropolitan Cathedral, the Central Post Office and the National History Museum, which is housed in the former royal court. We’ll then pass La Moneda Palace, the Neoclassical government offices that were once the royal mint.
Our next stop is San Cristobal Hill. At 2,900 feet above sea level, from here you can relish in the soul-stirring panoramic views of both the city and the magnificent Andes Mountains beyond. Before heading back to your hotel, we’ll stop at the handicraft centre of Pueblito los Dominicos where you can browse the local arts and crafts, and perhaps pick up a souvenir or two.
At the end of the tour, we’ll return you to your hotel where your excursion ends.
Please note that we may visit sites in a different order.
