The Alameda

The formal moniker of Santiago's principal avenue is Avenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins, but everyone calls it la Alameda. O'Higgins is Chile's founding father, and his remains are buried under a monument dedicated in his honor across from the Plaza de la Ciudadanía. La Alameda is a congested and harried thoroughfare, characterized by throngs of people and screeching buses, and there are few crosswalks -- remember that you can cross the avenue via an underground Metro station. The following attractions can be found on or just off the Alameda.
