Walk into Santiago's heart with a local guide who turns four centuries of collapse and reconstruction into the story behind every dish you taste. Over three hours and six stops, you'll go from the historic downtown to the heritage streets of Lastarria, tasting Indigenous corn, Spanish stews, the red, white and green of a Completo Italiano hot dog, German cheese, and a French grape once presumed extinct.

Your guide knows which counter makes the best Completo Italiano, reads the market like a regular, and explains why Chile gave a hot dog its own national holiday, how a lost Bordeaux variety hid in these valleys for a century before becoming the country's calling card, and why the Plaza de Armas was built for defense long before beauty.

This is a Food Tours experience, so a Secret Dish is waiting too, revealed only on the day and served with a pisco sour, holding the heart of Santiago's cooking in a single course.
