An all-encompassing itinerary that highlights the peak of Santiago's urban life, historical heritage, and breathtaking natural beauty. Get ready to explore Santiago's charm in just three days.
Day 1 - Introduction to Santiago
Get ready for an immersive experience in Santiago! We'll kick off our adventure with a stroll through Santiago's Downtown. Nestled among towering modern buildings, you'll find a wealth of historic sites - like the majestic 'La Moneda' Palace. From there, we'll head to the vibrant Bellavista neighborhood, offering plenty of street art, quirky shops, and tasty eateries. No time for the jetlag to catch up as we step into a funicular that will take us to the top of the San Cristobal Hill. Tired already? Don't worry! The pure essence of Santiago is waiting to impress you with an incredible panoramic view of the city. Don't forget to send us a postcard from huge Our Lady of Immaculate Conception statue!
Day 2 - Exploring Santiago's Art and Cuisine
Woken up yet? Excited for Day 2? Good! We'll start by exploring the local art scene at Museo de Bellas Artes. Once we've soaked up enough creativity, we'll dive into Santiago's culinary scene. Sounds tempting, huh? What about a food tour in the Mercado Central? It's not just about eating, it's about feasting on a diverse platter of culinary stories. You can't visit Chile without trying out a plate of Empanadas now, can you? To aid digestion, we embark on a leisurely stroll through Parque Forestal - An urban oasis right in the city centre! Grab some ice-cream, soak in the sun, and rest your weary feet. We're not done yet!
Day 3 - Santiago's Natural Splendor and Farewell Toast
Day 3, already? Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it? As we toast to our final day (don't worry, we're doing it with some fabulous Chilean wine), we travel to the outskirts of Santiago. It's time for a breath of fresh air at the Cajón del Maipo, a winding canyon carved by the Maipo River. Make your Social Media followers envious as you capture electrifying landscapes and majestic Andean peaks. But what's a visit to Chile without tasting its world-class wines? We bid our trip goodbye with a winery tour in the renowned Maipo Valley, clinking glasses filled deep-red Carménère. A touch of melancholy but we promise to end this Chilean roller-coaster ride on a high note!
