Overview
Embark on this Freak Tour, a unique journey that will take you to know the history of the longest country in the world as you have never heard it before. This tour combines freak facts and curious anecdotes to explore Chile from its origins through its colonial era, independence, and the events that have marked its modern history.
During the tour, you will find facts such as:
Why are there blond Mapuches?
What do Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and the Mapuche Caupolicán have in common?
Why don't we really celebrate independence?
Does Chile have half a World Cup?
Through a journey through the main points of the historic center, we will visit free museums and emblematic churches that narrate centuries of history. We will also understand how major earthquakes shaped Chile's cultural identity and what makes it so unique. An educational and entertaining experience to discover a Chile full of surprises and curiosities that will leave you amazed. "Because every story has a little bit of comic strip."

On arrival
Leaving from the Plaza de Armas station on metro line 5 (L5), look for the swimming pool in the center of the square.
Things to note
It is a long route in time but not long distances. The route is mainly flat, although, at the end, we will climb a low hill in the center of the city. Although there are places to buy water, I recommend that you bring a bottle of water beforehand. The tour includes a 30-minute break.
Free Cancellation
You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
