History

History of Barrio Yungay

Barrio Yungay is Chile's first planned neighborhood, laid out in 1839 with straight streets and squares designed for a modern city; today it is a protected Typical Zone of historic conservation.

Chosen as the ninth coolest neighborhood in the world by Time Out, it also has the highest density of museums in the country as the heart of the Santiago Poniente Cultural Circuit.

Its soul is multicultural and diverse: long-time residents, migrants, artists and shopkeepers live side by side and give it a unique pulse. But Yungay's most precious asset is its neighborhood life, that perfect mix of commerce and community.

That spirit is organized and strengthened by Distrito Yungay, the trade association of its businesses, and celebrated by Mercado Colores de Yungay, the event that showcases its food, its trades and its identity at every edition.

All of this coexists with the architecture of another era in three emblematic passageways: Adriana Cousiño, Lucrecia Valdés and Hurtado Rodríguez.
