Santiago
A self-guided audio walking tour of Santiago.
Santiago sits in a bowl of clear Andean air, with the snow capped cordillera close enough on a clear day to feel almost within reach. The city center mixes ornate nineteenth century plazas with the energy of a South American capital very much in motion, and the neighborhoods radiating outward each have a distinct tempo. Walking here is to move between registers, formal and spontaneous, monumental and intimate, all under an enormous blue sky. In the app, 54 stops in Santiago are narrated aloud, about 1h 32m of listening across 7 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
