Exploring Santiago

After a bountiful breakfast at the Hotel Intercontinental we heard a presentation by a Chilean who told us his quite a complicated story of how he lived through his country’s transition to a 17-year dictatorship.

We were then met by our local guide for a walking tour of the city core. She also touched on the military coup that brought Pinochet to power and the reform to democracy in the late 1980s.

We then separated from the group for some free time making our way to the Museum of Human Rights to learn more about this era in Chilean history. We made our way back to the hotel via the metro system, which is extremely easy to use with tap and pay.

Dinner was at a revolving restaurant with views of the city.Leer más
