Hi, I’m Isabel! What excites me most about Santiago is its incredible mix of cultures and contrasts - from contemporary architecture to classic heritage buildings, from bustling markets to serene hills and parks. I love exploring places like San Cristóbal, Santa Lucía or La Quebrada de Macul, as much as I enjoy sketching the city’s diverse architecture downtown. Santiago’s neighborhoods - from bohemian Lastarria to lively Plaza Ñuñoa - each tell a unique story, and sharing those stories is a joy for me. Whether it’s a hidden bar, a folkloric event or a fascinating art space, I enjoy connecting people with the city’s indigenous, colonial, modern, and contemporary layers that make it so unique.
I felt like we connected with Isabel almost instantly, she really is warm and welcoming with useful information at every point. She is extremely knowledgeable and so far all her recommendations have been spot on. She gives the personal touch which was well appreciated.
