About this audio guide
This guide to Patio Bellavista in Santiago's Bellavista neighborhood traces the block's turn from century-old housing stock into a restored courtyard of markets, restaurants and nightlife after a 2006 reopening. It follows the heritage rescue that stitched the buildings back together through the 2000s and 2010s, and the neighborhood's ties to poet Pablo Neruda's house up the hill. Listen for how the courtyard changes character between the market stalls of daytime and the dance floors after ten at night.
