Free Market Tour Santiago

All tours are suspended until further notice due to government’s regulations

Discover Santiago’s markets, a place where people gather to find the best ingredients and social activity. On our Free Tour of Santiago’s Markets you will see how, despite that many modern shopping centers have sprouted around the city, the colourful atmosphere of traditional markets is never replaced.

Explore the Central Market, a temple of seafood. Its size and flavor are unique due to the cold Humboldt current – a seafood lover’s paradise! And everything is caught daily – it doesn’t get fresher than that! Get lost in La Vega market, one of the biggest fruit and vegetable markets on the continent, and navigate through its perfectly organized chaos as you enjoy the smell of tomato and basil.

Enjoy a sandwich made with Chile’s favorite bread, marraqueta and finish the tour in La Piojera, one of the bars with the most history and character in the city. On our Tour of Santiago’s Markets you will understand that even though cities like Santiago change, traditions remain. Dive with us into a world of colors, smells, delicious food, laughter, different accents, and loud voices that together form the kaleidoscopic Chilean social reality.

*Markets are part of one of the most popular areas of the city, where crowds, vendors, colors and smells blend with the lively market life and its food. Dress comfortably and come with an open mind, to be part of this particular side of the Chilean people.
