Description

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).
