Planned itinerary pre-program

Day 1: Half-day guided bus tour of Santiago

Experience Santiago’s main attractions on this four-hour guided bus tour. Starting at your hotel, you’ll head downtown, passing Plaza de Armas, home to the city’s oldest buildings. Then we’ll drive through the Santiago district to San Cristóbal Hill, where you can admire breathtaking views of the city and the Andes.
