Surrounded
by the Ocean and the Andes, the deserts and the artic
regions,
Chile
is perhaps the most unique and fascinating country in
the world. The capital
Santiago
encloses treasures of art and architecture with palaces,
gardens, churches, and hidden museums seldom seen by
most of the tourists. Visiting
Chile
is a cultural experience leading us through a
fascinating history that includes the civilization which
preceded the discovery of
America
, the colonial society created by the Spaniards who
exploited the rich mines of the country, and the
political traumas of the 1970s. But
Chile
is more than history, and
Santiago
is a living city filled with artisans, music, food &
drink.
I
fell in love with
Chile
and
Santiago
immediately as soon as I arrived here some years ago,
and I could not help but coming back again and again to
understand the reasons of its charm: the character of
the people and the beauty of the country are the keys of
this mistery. With “
Santiago
a’
la Carte
” you will find several options for tailor made tours.
We are a married couple
and travelled to
Chile
for our honeymoon with a one day stop in
Santiago
and ignored how to organize a short visit of the
capital. With Alvise as a guide we found the right
places and people and he provided the historical and
social background to make the territory come alive (Bob
Spencer and Diane Price,
Asheville
,
NC
,
USA
)
As
a licensed guide in
Venice
,
Italy
, I learned throughout the years that people need
customized tours: some look for the natural side, others
prefer the history and the memories of the past, while
others choose to concentrate on the arts. “Santiago
a’
la Carte
” will be your menu to discover Chile! |
