About This Activity
Use this free day to wander Bellavista — Santiago's bohemian quarter home to La Chascona (Neruda's house) and lively street art — or browse the ornate cast-iron Mercado Central for fresh ceviche. Craft shoppers should head to Pueblito Los Dominicos, while wine lovers can join an afternoon tour at one of the nearby Maipo Valley vineyards like Concha y Toro or Santa Rita.
