Barrio Brasil



Brazil neighborhood is close to Dieciocho, Concha y Toro, Yungay and República area and it is located to the north of Alameda street. This was a typical high-class district since the middle XIX century. From the 1940’s this neighborhood, like others in Santiago, went into decline because of the migration of wealthy families to the eastern part of the city.
In spite of that, this neighborhood has started to reborn, due to the creation of places for cultural, artistic and leisure time activities.
