Templo Baha'i
Let’s visit one of Santiago’s most remarkable and inspiring landmarks: the Bahá'í Temple of South America. Completed in 2016 by architect Siamak Hariri, this temple was conceived as a symbol of unity and openness to all people, regardless of belief.
Its architecture is striking—nine translucent wings of cast glass and marble that subtly shift in appearance with the changing light, creating an almost ethereal presence against the sky. The design has been recognized with major international awards for its beauty, innovation, and spiritual resonance.
Peacefully set at the foothills of the Andes, the temple offers sweeping city views and a serene natural environment ideal for reflection and quiet inspiration. As we explore, you’ll learn about the Bahá'í faith, rooted in principles of equality, harmony, and the shared dignity of humanity.
This is more than a visit—it’s a moment to breathe, slow down, and reconnect with a sense of peace and perspective.

Mussio Design
Discover one of Chile’s most treasured gems: lapislázuli, the deep-blue semi-precious stone found only in Chile and Afghanistan. Revered since ancient times for its vibrant color and golden flecks of pyrite, it has long been associated with wisdom, protection, and inner clarity.
We’ll visit a workshop where skilled artisans cut, polish, and set the stone into elegant jewelry and decorative pieces. Watching their work up close reveals how each creation is shaped with patience, artistry, and cultural pride rooted in Andean tradition. The artisans are happy to explain their process.
You’ll also find beautiful pieces made from Chilean copper, the country’s most iconic mineral and a symbol of its land and history. From minimalist jewelry to handcrafted art objects, every item carries a story of origin and craftsmanship.
This is the ideal moment to choose a meaningful, locally made souvenir—something authentic that will continue to connect you with Chile long after your journey ends.
