History free walking tour about Santiago
Hi! I'm Pablo, I used to work for a walking tour company years ago, and after that, I lived in Australia and Canada, improved my English a lot, and finished my degree in tourism. I really like history and walking, among other things. I have lived in Santiago most of my life and I know the downtown pretty well since I had the chance to be in the school in this area too, so, basically, I have roamed around this area for more than 15 years ;D.

I will be right in front of the address right next to Salvador Allende monument. You can always recognize me with my grey eddie bauer backpack and my crazy curly hair :D
