Santiago City Hall integrates cultural heritage and guided tour programs

The Santiago City Hall, through its Directorate of Culture and Citizen Education, has integrated two initiatives: ‘Cocheros de Santiago: Patrimonio Vivo’ and the Municipal Guided Tours Program. These programs aim to preserve local identity, value historical heritage, and strengthen cultural tourism in the city.

The educational and cultural activities included visits to several key locations, such as Centro León, the Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration, the Historic Center, Hotel La Mercedes, and the Santiago Art Museum. These tours allow participants to expand their knowledge of the city's history, art, and architecture.

The ‘Cocheros de Santiago’ project seeks to dignify the traditional profession of carriage drivers, training them as hosts and promoters of Santiago's identity. Meanwhile, the Guided Tours Program promotes the appreciation of historical and artistic heritage through educational experiences for various population sectors.
