Santiago Barrio Yungay Street Art Walking Tour Experience

Location Santiago, Chile
$50
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

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, learning its history as a valuable introduction to the context of much of Santiago's urban expression. Then, we delve into the streets of Yungay, transformed into open-air galleries. Striking murals tell stories; we'll meet the artists and learn about the local people. We'll explore emblematic cultural corners like the Adriana Cousiño Passage and the Lucrecia Valdés Passage, discovering historic facades bursting with color. We'll visit the neighborhood artists' gallery, meet some of the artists, and then continue with more murals and some hidden gems, such as the French Hair Salon (the second oldest in the world), and cool restaurants.

With Roots & Routes, we believe in meaningful tourism and will recommend the best local art spaces, restaurants, and bars so you can continue exploring the creative heart of Santiago.
