At the indicated time, we'll meet at the entrance to the Historical and Military Museum of Chile, located on calle Blanco Encalada in the municipality of Santiago. Here, we'll give you a brief description of the surroundings and the historical significance of the building that houses the museum.
We'll begin our guided tour of the museum in the rooms dedicated to the period between the 15th and 19th centuries.
