Parque Forestal and Mapocho walk

Walk under mature plane trees through a riverside park connecting Bellas Artes, Lastarria and central Santiago.

What to expect

This long, open green corridor follows the Mapocho beside the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and the Museum of Contemporary Art. The municipal management plan describes its tree-lined promenades, works of art and role as a walkable link between central neighbourhoods.

Free public park walk

Before you go

Entry and costs

The public park is free and open at all hours according to the municipal management plan. Museums, exhibitions, cafés and events beside the route have their own hours and conditions.

Visitor notes

Use the park as a route between the historic centre, Bellas Artes and Lastarria rather than as a fenced attraction with a single entrance. Paths cross busy streets and connect to public transport; museum visits need separate schedule checks. The municipality’s plan documents the park as open around its perimeter at all hours, but check local notices for works or events.

Opening hours

Date-specific hours are not available for this place. Check the official page for the day you plan to visit.
