01 · Story

Over the Andes

Crossing the Andes was almost a whim: Backroom wanted more people to live the experience. In Providencia it opened a house with a bohemian soul, set on changing the way Santiago goes out to eat and drink.

Here, every guest picks their own night: a jazz show on one of the best sound systems in Santiago, or a long talk with friends while the band plays in the background. A bar more than 11 meters long and over 130 whiskies set the scene. Everyone writes their own story.
