The tour unwinds on a paved avenue beneath glass towers that tilt light across the street. Walkers move from the reflective façade of Edificio Cruz del Sur toward the ceremonial sweep of Escuela Militar, the city’s military academy, while the Andes hover to the east like a slow-moving backdrop. Streets hum with weekday commerce; pockets of green—Plaza Loreto and Titanium Park—offer quick relief and framed views.
