Portal La Dehesa, Shopping center in Lo Barnechea, Chile.
Portal La Dehesa is a large shopping center in Lo Barnechea that houses multiple retail stores, entertainment venues, and dining establishments. The complex spreads across a substantial area with modern buildings, parking facilities, and multiple levels designed for easy access to all sections.
Portal La Dehesa opened on 29 November 2003 at the junction of Avenida La Dehesa and Comandante Malbec, on a site of about 11.7 hectares. Falabella became the first anchor store after a contract signed with Cencosud in October 2004 and opened in 2005. Ripley opened on 30 October 2006 and was replaced by Paris on 10 November 2016.
The mall's colonial-style architecture and landscaped grounds echo the character of Lo Barnechea, the commune that hosts it. Its anchor stores have changed over time: Ripley opened on 30 October 2006 and was replaced by Paris, inaugurated on 10 November 2016. The cinema on the second floor also changed hands, from Movieland to Cineplanet and then Cinemark.
The center is easily accessible from multiple streets and offers ample parking for visitors. Weekends tend to be crowded, so visiting on weekdays provides a more relaxed experience if you prefer to avoid larger crowds.
The cinema has changed hands twice: Peruvian chain Movieland opened an eight-screen complex on the second floor in July 2005, Cineplanet ran it for 21 years until early 2026, and Cinemark then opened five 100% Premier screens in its place.
