About

Quick facts: Parque Forestal follows the course of the Mapocho River, offering more than 30 hectares of green spaces in the heart of the city. It houses sculptures by renowned Chilean artists and connects to several nearby museums and galleries.

Highlights: Among its large oaks and linden trees, an interesting secret is the Museum of Fine Arts, which seems to emerge from the park with its neoclassical facade and its outdoor exhibitions. The park comes alive with art fairs and live music on weekends, creating a unique cultural atmosphere.
