[7] Barrio Brasil is close to the neighborhoods Dieciocho, Concha y Toro, Yungay, and República and lies immediately to the north of the Alameda.

There is a Haussmann-style building at Moneda y Ciénfuegos that today rents out studio space, and neoclassical Spanish-style casonas or large homes, as well as traditional Chilean housing.

Since 2000, the neighborhood has experienced a revival with the creation of spaces for cultural events, the arts, recreation and leisure.

[10] Part of the architectural patrimony of the neighborhood has been renovated and the general quality of life of the sector has improved.

Avenida Brasil, which begins on the north side of the Alameda just past the metro República, has many cafés, restaurants, and bars.
