A bohemian neighborhood full of art galleries, restaurants, and bars.

Let's take a tour of the fascinating neighborhood of Bellavista in the city of Santiago. The neighborhood of Bellavista was founded in 1891 by the same owner of the vineyard (?). Bellavista has a strong Bohemian feel, there are many old, beautiful buildings and it is very popular amongst the artists. We are in the residential neighborhood of Bellavista. Lots of pretty houses, tree lined streets, it does not get much better than this.

Look, we even found a spider web gate. Not surprisingly there are many art galleries and theaters all around Bellavista. One of Bellavista's most popular attractions, just might be Pablo Neruda's house "La Chascona." Pablo Neruda is Chile's Noble Prize winning poet. Outside his house you can find plaques engraved with his poetry. The house is shaped like a boat and it contains all of Pablo Neruda's antique collection, it is also open to the public. Here, we can see Pablo Neruda's emblem. See these old warehouses? They are actually Rock music venues.

Bellavista is also the place to find "Lapislazuli Jewelry." Lapislazuli is a beautiful blue gem stone found only in Chile and Afghanistan. You can find the Lapislazuli shops all along the Mayan history. When you are shopping for Lapislazuli, remember, all these shops have around the same prices and the same merchandise. At night, Bellavista really comes alive. This is what Bellavista is like at night full of night clubs, pubs and restaurants. The party here starts at eleven o'clock and do not worry because the bars close at four. The national drink here is the Bisco Sour. I am Helia Goodman, showing you Santiago.
