Barrio Bellas Artes (close to our school)

The Bellas Artes neighborhood has being transformed into one of the most promising places of Santiago. Within 2 years it recovered its initial urban character and the city council created the “Cafes Promenade”.
It is located just a few steps away from the Fine Arts museum and next to the Forestal Park.
