Pedro de Valdivia Norte

Pedro de Valdivia Norte is a residential district in Providencia featuring tree-lined streets and single-family homes with private gardens. The area stretches between San Cristóbal Hill and the Mapocho River, defined by spacious green spaces and quiet residential blocks.

The district developed in the 1950s through the subdivision of the Lo Contador estate into smaller parcels. This growth followed urban planning principles inspired by English garden city models of the era.

The neighborhood reflects its origins in early town planning ideals through its wide avenues and spacious residential layouts that mirror English garden city principles. Residents and visitors experience this heritage in the quieter, greener character that sets it apart from denser urban areas.

The district connects to Santiago's public transport through Pedro de Valdivia Avenue and provides easy access to green spaces and parks. Navigating by bus or metro is straightforward, and you can reach the neighborhood's quieter spots on foot.

India Square, redesigned in 2011, displays statues of historical Indian figures and serves as a focal point for neighborhood gatherings. Few visitors know about this plaza and its unexpected presence in a Santiago residential area.
