What’s the experience like?

“Look at the curve of that dome,” our guide said as we stepped out near the Bahai Temple, sunlight bouncing off its white petals. We’d started our Santiago city tour just after breakfast, weaving through quiet neighborhoods before the streets filled up. The air felt cool on Santa Lucia hill, and I could hear a street musician’s guitar drifting up from below while we took in the city views.

We wandered through Plaza de Armas where locals chatted on benches and pigeons darted between feet. Inside the Santiago Cathedral, it was hushed except for the soft echo of footsteps on old stone. At the central market, I caught a whiff of fresh seafood mixed with fried empanadas—our guide pointed out stalls selling razor clams and told us how families shop here every weekend.

The Museum of Human Rights left us quiet for a while; there’s something about seeing real letters and photos that sticks with you. Later, at Central Station, we watched commuters rushing past murals splashed with color. Our driver always seemed to know the best shortcuts, so we never felt rushed—even when we stopped for drone photos above Costanera Center’s glassy towers.
