Santiago · Mixed
From Santa Lucía Hill to Neruda's house
This route links the must-see places of Santiago's most walkable side. You climb the crag where the city was born, cross the Lastarria district and Parque Forestal, go over the Mapocho River and reach Bellavista, at the foot of San Cristóbal Hill. It is a mixed route: history, art, poetry and views, with the Andes as a backdrop on clear days.
