Parks and Politics Tour

Half Day

Where idiosyncrasy meets Chile´s distinctive and sometimes isolated political and cultural history.

We begin with a gentle ride through Santiago´s parks chatting about Chilean culture, education and immigration before diving into the hustle and bustle of downtown to explore General Pinochet´s notorious 1973 political coup and its repercussions.

Using Santiago´s beautiful green spaces and lively city center, this tour will show you what an important regional and international political player Chile has been since Independence in 1810.
