Hi, I’m Shakti and I love showing visitors all the energy and culture Santiago has to offer. I enjoy exploring the city center, discovering parks, and wandering through Lastarria and Barrio Italia, where art, history, and charming streets come alive. I’m always up for visiting museums, galleries, or the planetarium, and I love spotting interesting tidbits from the city’s past as we walk. Hiking the hills for stunning views is one of my favorite ways to experience Santiago, and I know the best places to eat, relax, and explore—whether it’s hidden gems or must-see tourist spots. With me, you’ll enjoy Santiago like a curious local, full of culture, fun, and surprises.
