Explore the historic streets and landmarks of Santiago, which played a role in the dictatorship of Pinochet. Our tour will transport you back to Chile in 1973!

Pinochet Tour

At the designated time, we'll collect you from your hotel in Santiago. From there, we'll head to our first stop - Cementerio General (the city's cemetery).

This location is a kind of open-air museum, constructed almost two centuries ago, where we'll discover Chile's recent history through the numerous graves of notable people buried here. In the cemetery will visit various sites of historical importance, such as Patio 29 - where thousands of bodies were secretly buried during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet - the Memorial to the Disappeared, and the tomb of Salvador Allende, who was president of Chile until his death during the coup d'état in 1973.

Later, we'll visit the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, a space that shows the horrors committed during the military dictatorship between 1973 and 1990. Our guide will help us to understand the historical context of the era and reflect on the events that occurred under the leadership of Pinochet.

Last, we head to Villa Grimaldi, a three-acre estate which was used as a community arts center until 1973 when General Pinochet turned it into a political detention and interrogation center known as Cuartel Terranova. This was the operations center of the secret police, known as DINA, and also the headquarters of the Metropolitan Intelligence Brigade, which was in charge of the brutal repression of the Chilean population during the military regime.

We end our historical tour through the Santiago of Pinochet's dictatorship back at your hotel, arriving 4 hours later.

Pickup Points

This activity includes pickup and drop–off from hotels in the following areas: the city center (zona central), Providencia, Estacion Central, Las Condes, and Nunoa. If your hotel is situated in a different area, we'll arrange for you to be collected from the most convenient of the aforementioned districts.
