Meeting Point

Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center - Barrio Lastarria, Santiago

Some neighborhoods you visit; Lastarria you taste. Our Lastarria Culinary Experience wanders Santiago's most bohemian streets for three delicious hours, in a group so small it feels like lunch with friends. Start at Centro Gabriela Mistral, toast your first Pisco Sour beside Chilean home cooking at Chipe Libre, let a BocaNariz sommelier walk you through Chile's wines glass by glass, peek inside the fire-scarred Veracruz Church, then settle into a long three-course lunch at Casa Lastarria. Come hungry, come curious: our guides serve food and Chilean culture as one delicious story, in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

The Route

Begin your journey at Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral

Thousands of volunteers raised this building in 275 days in 1972. A year later the dictatorship took it over and turned it into the seat of its regime, until a fire returned it to the city as the cultural center where your walk begins.

Toast both sides of the pisco rivalry at Chipe Libre

Toast both sides of the pisco rivalry at Chipe Libre

Chile and Peru have argued for centuries over who invented pisco. This bar declared itself the Independent Republic of Pisco, gave itself a flag, and built the whole place around the argument.

Delve into Chilean wine at BocaNariz

Delve into Chilean wine at BocaNariz

Chile's first wine bar opened here in 2012, pouring nothing but Chilean labels. Sommeliers walk you through a list of more than 300 wines that carries the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.

Read the fire's mark on the Iglesia de la Vera Cruz

Declared a National Monument in 1983, this neoclassical church burned during the unrest of November 2019. The flames gutted the inside but never brought it down, and it carries the scars in plain sight.

Guest Reviews

"Rodrigo is an excellent guide, good communicator and very knowledgeable. Fluent in English and keeps the group engaged. I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Santiago."

"Nacha was our guide and she was awesome! It was super easy to find the pickup spot and the whole experience is very smooth! It's small group (my group has less than 10 people). Highly recommend for solos! Nacha is super patient and gave us a lot of helpful information along the way, including local food / fruits, neighborhoods, and history."

"Esteban's tour vastly exceeded our expectations. Having lived in Santiago all his life, he seems to have absorbed every aspect and nuance of the city and its culture. His knowledge is extraordinary, and he can make any subject interesting."
