About This Tour

This private half-day tour pairs a dedicated chauffeur with a knowledgeable local guide, so you can move between Santiago's viewpoints and neighborhoods without worrying about logistics.

The cable car ride on this tour is part of a real, slightly rocky operational history. Santiago's hilltop teleférico — the Tupahue cable car, which links the Cumbre and Tupahue sections of Parque Metropolitano on Cerro San Cristóbal — was actually out of service for seven years, from 2010 to 2017, due to maintenance problems and a slow process to find a new operator. It's back in regular operation today, and from above you get one of the clearest views anywhere in the city of how tightly Santiago's grid is boxed in by the Andes on one side.

The street art your guide points out along the way belongs to a real, decades-old tradition rather than recent decoration. Chile's muralist movement traces back to the late 1960s, when groups like the Ramona Parra Brigade — aligned with the Communist Party — began painting bold, thick-outlined political murals across working-class and bohemian neighborhoods as a form of public protest. Bellavista, in particular, is one of the areas most associated with this style today, its walls still carrying bright, cartoonish figures and Chilean-themed imagery that grew directly out of that original movement.

Between the viewpoint and the murals, your guide and driver move you through streets that mix genuine colonial-era layouts with early-20th-century architecture — a combination that shows up across Santiago's historic core because the city's growth happened in distinct waves, from the Spanish colonial grid laid out in 1541 to the Centennial-era building boom around 1910.
