Description
Did you know that Santiago is considered the spearhead of the Latin American economy, but also a city marked by the shadows of its past?
On this 45-minute express tour, we'll walk from Tobalaba , in the heart of Providencia, to Sculpture Park , passing through the financial district known as Sanhattan . We'll see how the glass and steel skyscrapers tell the story of an "economic miracle," but also of deep inequalities born during Pinochet's dictatorship.
During the tour we will explore:
- Av. Apoquindo : from residential neighborhood to corporate epicenter.
- Costanera Center : the tallest skyscraper in Latin America and a symbol of the Chilean economic model.
- Streets of Sanhattan : Banks, multinationals and globalization in real time.
- Sculpture Park : a cultural highlight facing the Mapocho River, perfect for reflecting on how memory and art interact with Santiago's modernity.
