Overview

Early in the morning, we will collect you from your hotel in Santiago. From there, we will 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 will discover Chile's recent history through the numerous graves of the 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 Later we will visit the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, a space which shows the horrors committed during the military dictatorship between 1973 and 1990. 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.

Itinerary

  • Cementerio General (General Cemetery)

    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

    2 hours

  • Museum of Memory and Human Rights

    The Museum of Memory and Human Rights is a Chilean public museum, located in the commune of Santiago, Santiago de Chile, dedicated to commemorating the victims of human rights violations during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990). It is located at Matucana Avenue 501, in front of the Quinta Normal metro station. Inaugurated by President Michelle Bachelet on January 11, 2010, as part of the government works that celebrated the Bicentennial of Chile.

    1 hour

  • Parque por la Paz Villa Grimaldi

    Villa Grimaldi is a large property on the foothills of the Andes in the commune of Peñalolén, in Santiago de Chile. This place was one of the largest detention and torture centers during the military dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet. It has been transformed into the Villa Grimaldi Peace Park Museum thanks to the work of the Villa Grimaldi Peace Park Corporation and the support of social organizations, neighbors, human rights organizations and relatives of detained and disappeared persons.

    1 hour

  • La Moneda

    During the coup d'état of 1973, the building inhabited by Allende and some of his supporters was bombed by cannons from the Chilean Army and by Sura 3 rockets from two British-made Hawker Hunter aircraft of the Chilean Air Force, leaving it partially destroyed.13​ The north facade, as well as the pavilion between the Los Cañones and Los Naranjos courtyards, were the places most affected by the rockets and by the fire that spread from the corner of Moneda and Teatinos streets to about twenty-five meters to the south, near the Plaza de la Libertad (today, Plaza de la Ciudadanía). This attack also meant the loss of invaluable treasures that were accumulated during years of government. Among the lost goods are the aforementioned Act of Independence of 1818 and the original O'Higgins pickaxe.7​

    1 hour

  • Barrio Paris Londres

    This place was a former communal headquarters of the Chilean Socialist Party, which after the coup d'état of September 11, 1973 and until the end of 1974 became a clandestine detention and torture center of the DINA. As it was the first period of repression, the systems of torture, disappearance and extermination used in this place were very brutal.2 Tribute to Modesto Segundo Espinoza in front of Londres 38. Its importance is given by the fact that it is the first link in a chain of detention centers used by the DINA in the Metropolitan Region, in its campaign against the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR), first, and other organizations of the Chilean left, such as the Socialist and Communist parties; and which also included the clandestine facilities located at José Domingo Cañas N° 1367, Venda Sexy and Villa Grimaldi.

Excellent Tour with a Wonderful Tour Guide

Published on Dec, 2024

The tour was amazing! Our tour guide Rose was incredibly friendly and answered all of our many questions about the history of Chile. We were blown away by the sites we visited, some of which we never would have found or would never have been able to navigate on our own. The tour was of course full of heavy material, but it was incredibly interesting and taught us a lot. Definitely recommend it to anyone interested in this part of Chilean history!

Fabulous guide Juan

Published on May, 2023

Fabulous, our guide Juan was funny, interesting and informative. He told us about the dictatorship history but also the history of other famous left leaning figures. The tour was detailed, engaging and of course confronting at times. A must if you want to understand the context of the country you are visiting.

This tour is a must! Simply amazing.

There are no words to express how enriching and rewarding this tour is. Ishmael, my guide, was intelligent, interesting, personable, and highly knowledgeable. His love of history and Chilean culture added to the passion he brought to guiding me through the places that still highlight the painful past of Pinochet Regime of terror. This tour is a must to anyone who is serious about learning this dark chapter in Chilean history. It is an amazingly insightful, thought provoking, and at times very moving tour. Ishmael is a superb guide and I feel privileged to have taken his tour. I highly recommend this tour to all teachers, students, historians, and anyone who wants to experience an educational and interesting day. In fact, everyone should take this tour! Thank you, Ishmael. What I learnt from you I will pass on to my students and friends.
