We'll meet at the Lo Vial metro station, where we'll take a “colectivo,” one of the most traditional and popular modes of public transportation in Santiago. This short trip will already be part of the experience, showing you how the people of Santiago get around every day.

We'll begin our tour in the historic MADECO-MADEMSA district, a neighborhood with a strong working-class past that reflects the industrial and social memory of the San Joaquin commune. Here you'll learn about its history, marked by the lives of the workers who shaped this community.

From there, we'll enter the open market, a vibrant and bustling space where colors, scents, and voices blend together. You'll walk among the fresh fruit and vegetable stalls, taste local flavors, and be able to chat with the market vendors, whose friendliness and warmth will make you feel like a local from Santiago.

It will be an authentic experience that will allow you to learn about not only popular gastronomy, but also the culture, identity, and everyday life of Santiago's neighborhoods. More than just a tour, it's an invitation to discover the city through its roots and its people.
