About this audio guide
At Pueblito Los Dominicos in Santiago, the guide begins with two copper-domed church towers and a landowner, Juan Cranisbro, who bought this farm in 1767. It follows the estate through the Dominican friars and the church of San Vicente Ferrer, and a story of the guerrilla leader Manuel Rodríguez hiding here during Chile's war of independence. Start it before you walk into the lanes, standing where you can see the towers.
