    Fuente Alemana

    Walk twelve minutes to Fuente Alemana. Order a churrasco italiano, a sandwich prepared right in front of you. It is one of the city's most famous spots for this specific dish.

    Parque de las esculturas

    Head to Parque de las esculturas. The fifty-six minute walk takes you to a park filled with sculptures. Relax here and look out at the views of the financial district skyline.
