Overview
Yungay: Memory, Art, and Neighborhood
Murals, cités, museums, and stories of struggle, memory, and patrimonial beauty.
We begin our journey in the historic Quinta Normal, into the heart of Barrio Yungay, a neighborhood where culture, art, and history live in every corner. We visit the Gabriela Mistral Education Museum, and explore iconic places such as the vibrant Pasaje Adriana Cousiño, and the charming Pasaje Lucrecia Valdés.
You'll witness powerful murals that tell stories of migration, feminism, memory, and community resistance.
We continue into the colorful and energetic Barrio Brasil, a sector full of cultural life, alternative art, and family heritage. Here you'll see vibrant murals, historic mansions, community spaces, and iconic locations like Plaza Brasil, a gathering point for artists, children, and neighbors alike.
Finally, we arrive at the unique Barrio Concha y Toro, with its European-inspired curved streets, loaded with art, bohemia, and old Santiago charm. This is not just a walk, it's a deep dive into Chile's social, cultural, and emotional identity. A must-do in Santiago for those who seek more than sightseeing: a real connection with its people, art, and spirit.
