Hi, I'm Mila, a Santiago enthusiast, it's a city that has a lot to offer! I love walking and sharing my Santiago experience with tourists and anyone who wants to discover the city in a different way. For more information and other tours, you can contact me on Instagram @stgoskyline

Description
Santiago General Cemetery: An open-air museum.
On this tour we will be able to discover this important architectural gem and historical monument. In addition to finding beautifully decorated tombs, we will walk through some of its streets. An opportunity to connect with art, silence and nostalgia in a friendly and respectful way. It is not intended to be a gloomy tour but rather a contemplative one.
We will visit the most important tombs and mausoleums in architectural and historical terms (Italian Mausoleum and its stained glass windows, Gothic mausoleums, exotic mausoleums, Green Chapel, Yellow Chapel, among others). We will be able to enjoy a very green tour as it is full of trees and gardens.
We will meet at the Cementerios Metro Station (Recoleta) and walk to the southern part of the Cemetery (Avenida Zañartu) to end the tour at the Hospitales Metro Station (Independencia). Approximately 2 hours of walking.
Dare to discover the city of the dead.
