Bahá'í Temple Tour with Exclusive Lapislázuli Workshop

This half-day tour is available in both morning and afternoon schedules. We begin at the Bahá'í Temple of South America, a serene architectural masterpiece completed in 2016. Its nine translucent wings of glass and marble seem to shift with the light, inviting reflection and openness. Set in the foothills of the Andes, the temple offers panoramic views of Santiago and a peaceful space to learn about the Bahá'í faith, centered on unity and the dignity of all people. Next, we’ll visit a lapis lazuli workshop, where you’ll see how artisans transform this rare blue stone—found only in Chile and Afghanistan—into elegant jewelry and decorative pieces. You’ll also enjoy a refreshing sample of pisco sour, on the house, and browse items crafted from Chilean copper and other local materials—perfect for finding a unique souvenir. To end the tour, choose to return to your hotel or stay to explore Patio Bellavista, a lively area full of restaurants and culture.
