O'Higgins Avenue

Introduction

The most famous and important street in Santiago is O'Higgins Avenue. Like a ribbon, it connects the intricate web of streets and alleys, leading in all directions.

Among the green trees and blooming flowers on O'Higgins Avenue, there are vivid and expressive bronze statues that mainly reflect the Chilean spirit of respecting history and being forgiving. The most beloved figure in the hearts of the people is O'Higgins, after whom this street is named. The street is lined with seafood restaurants fragrant with aroma, as well as the neon lights of colorful nightclubs and bars, bringing liveliness and vibrancy to what would otherwise be a quiet street.

The wide variety of goods available here includes almost everything, but foreign products from countries like France, the United States, and Japan dominate, while local goods are few and far between, a result of low tariffs.
