Santiago's Yungay Neighborhood Free Tour: Identity and Cultural Resistance
♡ Save


A walking tour through the first planned neighborhood of Santiago. We will learn about its historical origin, its heritage architecture and part of the large number of murals that today define its streets.
The Yungay neighborhood is an area of Santiago known for preserving its small-town feel and sense of community. On this walking tour, we’ll stroll through its main streets and alleyways to understand its evolution from 1839 to the present day.
* Heritage and Architecture: We’ll explore Plaza del Roto, its housing complexes, and the alleyways that keep the community of old Santiago alive. * Mural Art: We’ll examine some of the street art on display, considering the social and artistic context of the artists. * Neighborhood Life: We’ll pass by landmarks such as the Peluquería Francesa and cultural centers housed in historic mansions. * This is a leisurely walk, ideal for those who want to discover a less commercial and more cultural side of the city.
You’ll have the exclusive opportunity to purchase a print of ROMOKO’s mural (priced at 15,000 or 40,000 CLP, depending on the type of print).
