Places to visit!

I don’t know Santiago very well, I know some historical places and museums, but just a few. Obviously I have an excuse: I was raise in Curico, my hometown, it’s located in the north of Maule’s Region (is the seventh if you didn’t know) however I was born in Santiago, but my family just came here to show me to my grandparents (they have lived their entire lives here). And I know very well Curico, sometimes I get lost but it’s because I get lost easily.

I’m ashamed, I have been living in Santiago for four years now, and I don’t know this place. However some foreign friends have come here to visit and I have shown them some places that I personally love and that I think every tourist should see: First of all green places (like squares) I think that the forest park it’s a beautiful place, the streets around that and the art museums near that park, makes it a great place to visit. For example the Beauty Arts Palace (from his architecture and his art) it’s a fantastic and cheap. This is my favorite green place.

An architecture place that anyone can’t miss is the Sacramentinos’s Church, it’s located in San Diego street. It is just lovely, everytime I see it it amaze me the beauty of this Church.

An important museum that a tourist should visit is the Precolumbian Art Museum, it shows all the handmade thing made by the natives before Columbus came to America. It’s located near the Town Square.

A street you should visit is Yungay street, it’s representative of the ancient part of the city, the houses in that street have more than 300 years and right now is restoring the cultural side of the city. Last but not least is the government palace, a gigantic building build as a republican icon.
