Artisans Market
After about twenty minutes we are going to do the first stop in an old area, which used to be out of the city and today is surrounded by it.
Currently, there is an artisans market where the local expert is going to give a ten minutes talk about the general characteristics of the handy crafts; how they are originated along the very different regions of the country, this is a testimony of the diversity of raw material and how people have created crafts that are part of their own identity.
In this area, you are going to see and enjoy for forty-five minutes a large number of small shops which show part of the folk and the patrimony of Chile or you could just get a coffee or try some of the great local fresh fruit juice

Templo Bahá'í de Sudamérica

The views and the gardens will make you forget you are in the capital city of Chile. This is a very nice area and totally unique as well as for the geographical location of the building you are going to visit.
