From Cerro Santa Lucia (a big historic hill in Santiago - according to my guidebook, "it was at the foot of this hill that Santiago was officially founded by [Pedro de] Valdivia, on February 12, 1541...[in] 1872...the intendente of Santiago, Vicuna Mackenna, enlisted the labour of 150 prisoners to transform it into a grand public park.") - the Centro Artesanal craft/arts market that we went to after climbing/walking around on the hill, along with a big ad for University of the Americas.
