Santiago is a city of contrasts with traces of its Colonial past mixed with the ultramodern, high-rise buildings of the financial center. Chile’s capital will surprise you and our tour offers you the opportunity to see this eclectic mix for yourself. Our tour begins by heading south through the downtown area, passing by the Club Hípico, a beautiful horseracing track located in the oldest residential area of the city. Then you proceed alongside the Parque O’Higgins and also the Cousiño Palace, built between 1870 and 1878 for the wealthy Cousiño family. From here you head along the famous Alameda, Santiago’s colorful main avenue, towards the heart of the city. On the way you’ll see the Chilean University, the San Francisco Church and the Santa Lucia Hill, site of Santiago’s foundation in 1541. Then you continue towards the Plaza de Armas and the cathedral. Very close from here is the famous Central Market, which is the main market for fresh fish and seafood, an interesting building dating back to the end of the 19th century. It is a steel construction, built in London and brought to Chile by ship. Before heading to the pier, we’ll take a look at Valparaiso and you’ll have the opportunity to see what makes this city so unique. We will finish our tour at the port in Valparaíso where we’ll find our home for the next two weeks, Celebrity Infinity!
