Designed to resemble a traditional Chilean town, its narrow dirt streets and adobe houses with thatched roofs host workshops where artisans create and sell their crafts directly to visitors. The center features cultural events, live performances, and local cuisine. It also houses the Las Condes Wax Museum. Declared a National Monument in 1983, the site preserves the colonial history of the area.
The Club de Jazz de Santiago is one of the best of the city's many jazz clubs. Located in the northern part of the Ñuñoa neighborhood, this small club routinely brings in some of the best local, national, and international artists specializing in everything from Latin Jazz to Blues to Bossa Nova.
The site of Villa Grimaldi, infamous as a torture center during the Pinochet dictatorship, has now been turned into a memorial park. In 2004 it was listed as a national monument.
Cerro Calán has been envisioned as an intercommunal park since the early urban development of Las Condes. Originally part of the Hacienda Apoquindo, the area was primarily farmland until the 1950s, when it was divided for urbanization. Known historically as 'Qala' or 'Colón,' meaning "completely bare" in Quechua, the hill was designated for green spaces and later transferred to the University of Chile for the establishment of its National Astronomical Observatory (OAN). Despite early intentions to create a public park, administrative and financial challenges delayed its development. In 2019, a new agreement between the University of Chile and the Municipality of Las Condes initiated the opening of 45 hectares of Cerro Calán for recreational, educational, and environmental purposes. Visitors can also explore the university's astronomical observatory on the hill. For group visits, complete the entrance form: Entrance Forms.
