5.0
(9 reviews)
Santiago, Chile

2 to 3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

A vibrant route where art, identity, and community take center stage. We begin in the historic Quinta Normal Park and briefly visit the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, a meaningful introduction to the context behind much of Santiago’s urban expression. Then we dive into Yungay’s streets, transformed into open-air galleries. Powerful murals tell stories, we'll get to know the artists and learn about the locals. We explore iconic cultural corners like Pasaje Adriana Cousiño, and Pasaje Lucrecia Valdés, discovering heritage façades full of colo. The journey continues into energetic Barrio Brasil — a hub for alternative art, local stages, and creativity in motion. We finish at the bohemian Barrio Concha y Toro, a cinematic maze of curved streets and artistic soul.

With Roots & Routes, we create tourism with meaning — and we’ll recommend the best local art spaces, bites, and drinks so you can keep exploring Santiago’s creative heartbeat.
