El Golf neighborhood

The Golf also includes various restaurants, shops, a church and green areas that make a very pleasant walk to explore and get to know that sector of Santiago Oriente. 

A little history ... 

The neighborhood owes its name to the fact that the Los Leones Golf Club is located there, whose 18-hole course was inaugurated in 1937. At that time there were very few houses in this sector and it was where the highest socio-economic stratum lived. . 

Its main avenue is Isidora Goyenechea in honor of the stepdaughter of the wealthy Matías Cousiño, and wife of Luis Cousiño. Her historical relevance is due to the fact that she managed, together with her husband-stepbrother, a true economic empire that included copper, silver, and coal deposits, among which were Lota and Coronel. 

What to do in the El Golf neighborhood?

Without a doubt, going to one of the restaurants in Isidora Goyenechea is a good plan, due to its great gastronomic offer. You can also visit Plaza Perú, where an interesting antiques fair-exhibition is held every Sunday, while an organic market opens on Wednesdays and Saturdays. 

Other attractions are the Titanium Building, the second tallest in Santiago after the Costanera Center, and the Las Condes Audiovisual Interactive Museum, an entertaining experience where you can travel in space and time through audiovisual productions in 3D format.

You can explore this neighborhood by getting off at the Isidora Goyenechea stop on our Hop-On Hop-Off tourist bus or also leaving at the El Golf Station of the Santiago Metro (Line 1).
