Barrio Bellavista

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barrio Bellavista (Bellavista Neighborhood) is an area that lies between the Mapocho River and San Cristóbal Hill in Santiago, Chile. It is famous for its bohemian nightlife, and its main artery, Pio Nono Street, is lined with dance clubs, restaurants and pubs. In addition, it is a popular place to purchase lapis lazuli (a unique semiprecious stone found principally in Chile and Afghanistan) craftsmanship.

Pablo Neruda's famous house in Santiago, La Chascona, is also in this quarter.
