The BEST of SANTIAGO ???????? Real Neighborhoods, Street Art, Parks & Food. Things to do in the city.

In this week’s video we pick up again in Santiago, Chile. This time around we decided to explore some of the trendier neighbourhoods of Santiago to find some fun things to in Santiago.

We start things off in the neighbourhood of Barrio Yungay. Yungay feels like a relatively quiet neighbourhood in Santiago full of amazing street art. If you’re a fan of street art and graffiti this is a must visit while in Santiago. We didn’t encounter too many other tourists and seemed to be mainly locals and families around. We visited a couple of parks including the Plaza Yungay as well as Parque Quinta Normal which happens to be one of the oldest parks in the city and contains a lake with old retro paddle boats. After exploring the park we found a little food truck park (Plaza de Bolsillo) where we had some chicken arepas.

After this we made our way to another part of the city called Lastarria. Lastarria is definitely more touristy but is also quite bohemian and trendy. We first came across a beautiful park called Santa Lucia Park that also had some beautiful fountains. Trevor needed a hair cut and we found a barber shop and craft beer called Barra Experimental. After this we walked around the Lastarria area where we came across street performers and vendors.

ABOUT SANTIAGO
Santiago, Chile’s capital and largest city, sits in a valley surrounded by the snow-capped Andes and the Chilean Coast Range. Plaza de Armas, the grand heart of the city’s old colonial core, is home to 2 neoclassical landmarks: the 1808 Palacio de la Real Audiencia, housing the National History Museum, and the 18th-century Metropolitan Cathedral. La Chascona is the home-turned-museum of poet Pablo Neruda.

ABOUT CHILE
Chile is a long, narrow country stretching along South America's western edge, with more than 6,000km of Pacific Ocean coastline. Santiago, its capital, sits in a valley surrounded by the Andes and Chilean Coast Range mountains. The city's palm-lined Plaza de Armas contains the neoclassical cathedral and the National History Museum. The massive Parque Metropolitano offers swimming pools, a botanical garden and zoo.

Chilean Food is Crazy Good. Street Food feast! Completo, Empanada de pino, Mote con huesillo + more

We spent one of our days in Santiago exploring the city to find out what Chilean foods are all about, and to find the best types of foods and street food in Santiago, Chile.

To start things off we headed to Central Market (Mercado Central de Santiago) where we came across a place called Emporio Zunino which is rumoured to have some of the best empanadas in Santiago. The line up was long but quick and we bought an empanada de queso (cheese) and empanada de pino (with meat).

Next up we headed out on a hunt for a cookie we’d heard a lot about but at first we had a difficult time finding one. Finally we found cookie, called alfajores, which is filled with dolce de leche- it was a bit different than we expected as it also had chocolate on top.

After that we again found something we’d been having a hard time finding, a drink called mote con huesillo. It’s a peach drink served with a dried peach that has been cooked in sugar with husked wheat at the bottom. Definitely the strangest thing we tried all day.

Next on our list was a hot dog, referred to as a completo. On the hot dog you’ll find avocado, tomatoes and mayonnaise.

Lastly we made our way to a rooftop bar (at the Singular Hotel) with incredible views, where we wanted to try a Chilean Pisco Sour. We’d had one previously in Lima.

ABOUT CHILEAN FOOD
Chilean gastronomy stems mainly from the combination of traditional Spanish cuisine, Chilean Indigenous Mapuche culture and local ingredients, with later important influences from other European cuisines, particularly from Germany, Italy and France. The food tradition and recipes in Chile are notable for the variety of flavours and ingredients, with the country’s diverse geography and climate hosting a wide range of agricultural produce, fruits and vegetables. The long coastline and the peoples' relationship with the Pacific Ocean add an immense array of seafood products to Chilean cuisine, with the country's waters home to unique species of fish, molluscs, crustaceans and algae, thanks to the oxygen-rich water carried in by the Humboldt Current. Chile is also one of the world’s largest producers of wine and many Chilean recipes are enhanced and accompanied by local wines.

The BEST Traditional Chilean Food in Santiago, Chile at Peumayen Restaurant

One of our biggest passions while traveling is trying local food! This is hard in Chile, where our inquiries about the best local foods were often met with “wouldn’t you prefer sushi?” or “maybe try going to Peru, they have amazing food there.”

Luckily, there’s an incredible restaurant that lets visitors try traditional Chilean food and local Chilean ingredients! Peumayen is deeply rooted in indigenous Chilean traditions, while still being willing to play, experiment, and be creative. We LOVE this restaurant!

If you’re interested in trying other traditional Chilean foods, we really recommend finding sopaipillas (fried flatbread traditionally made with pumpkin, but now sometimes made with orange dye instead) and mote con huesillos (a popular drink containing soaked wheat and a whole peach). There aren’t many Chilean street foods, at least not compared to places like Thailand and India, but you can find both sopaipillas and mote con huesillos sold by street vendors!

Check out Peumayen here:


Let us know in the comments if you want to see a list of all the bites we tried at Peumayen! We also always want to hear about your suggestions for local foods!

People of Chile

There must be few countries in the world which are so conditioned by their territory as Chile. Its awesome geography makes it both the longest and narrowest country on the planet; a land of simple, warm, hardworking and creative people, who live enveloped between the mountains and the sea. Its people and its geography, two of Chile's greatest assets.

Santiago, Chile with Daily Costs

Our daily costs budget traveling Chile. Lots of free museums and beautiful parks! We were pleasantly surprised by Santiago and all its offerings.

Chile by Bicycle

Get more at

YouTube has banned this video in many countries so simply go to Google Chrome and enter Chile by bicycle morrisonlife and it will play. Using the browser.

This is the movie whilst cycling from the border with Argentina at the top of the Andes across to Osorno and up to Santiago,February and early March 2013. A ride of 1200kms.
Lots of Lush vegetation but basically only one road and that is a busy motorway. All roads are branches off that one Ruta 5.

Chile is chilly and hilly is what we were saying to ourselves when we first arrived in the south. Although the very south is beautiful and lush it is also much cooler of course. This is not the kind of temperature we like, or are used to, so we were glad we took the route we did. In fact to get to the bottom there are no roads so a ferry for four nights and three days from Puerto Montt to Puerto Arena is $450 USD each plus $80USD for a bicycle one way. Not a fee we like.

The Chilean people have been very nice, generous and friendly and as such we have made many friends. It was fantastic to have arranged to stay with Michael and Natalia for five days in Osorno because we had so much rain for the few days prior and they made us feel at home. They showed us around the markets where we have never seen such beautiful large and juicy vegetables and fruit in all our travels and it was so inexpensive, yes, as little as India.
They took us by local bus 80kms to Natalia's parents' beach house on the coast funny enough, west of Osorno, for a lovely weekend. (See photos below)

After five days in comfort we headed off again. It was a miserable day weather wise and never much fun winding our way out of a fairly large town and onto a hilly Highway which would be our only choice of a road until we arrive in Santiago 950kms north of Osorno. (It was 337kms from Bariloche in Argentina to Osorno, over the Andes)

Chile is actually shaped like a chilli but it is not the reason for its name. There are many theories as to how it got its name but one is, it means The end of the earth The main highway is two lanes each way and has a good size shoulder although littered with debris of all sorts especially blown truck tyres with thin steel threads making it easy to get a puncture of which we had a few. So the main highway Ruta 5 is the trunk of the tree which has many branches both sides that more often than not turn to gravel. Ruta 5 follows the lowlands where it can more often than not be reasonably flat but as the country as a whole is extremely hilly and of course with the Andes mountains on the eastern side, then when there were hills they were real beauties. There is no shortage of rivers as the water runs down from the Andes so hence the fertile land suitable for just about everything from sheep and dairy farming to strawberries and so on, in the south, to vineyards and tropical fruits in the north.

This is Santiago, Chile ???????? Safe? Beautiful? Must Visit? What to do in the city. Travel Guide

We spent a full day checking out some of major sights to try to find the best things to in Santiago de Chile.

We started out the day with a run and headed to the beautiful Parque Bicentario where we saw some beautiful views of the city and mountains. We ran around the park for awhile to see what it had to offer and came across some flamingos.

We picked up the video later in the day in the centre of town in the Plaza de Armas, which is the main square in Santiago. From here we picked up our Hop on Hop off tickets from Turistik Chile and immediate hopped on a bus!

To book your Santiago Hop on Hop off ticket visit here (we had the “plus” ticket):

The Hop on Hop off bus took us throughout a large part of the city where we got to see many of the important sites and also listen to an audio guide.

We got off at the tallest building in Latin America called the Costanera Centre (Gran Torre). Here we bought tickets to the observation deck called Sky Costanera. The observatory is this highest in Latin America and offers amazing views of the city and Andes Mountains.

After this we walked to the cable car to make our way up Cerro San Cristobal, a park on a hill in the middle of the city. The tickets to the cable car were included in our Hop on Hop off ticket and also included the funicular down the hill.

Up at the top of Cerro San Cristobal you’ll find beautiful views of the city. You’ll also find a church as well as a statue of the Virgin Mary which you can see from the ground in most of the city.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Chile.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. Chile has the world’s largest outdoor swimming pool at the San Alfonso del Mar Resort. Set along the coastline, it is larger than 20 Olympic swimming pools and holds 66 million gallons of water. The pool is also in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the world’s deepest at 115 feet and costs £2 million pounds (US$3.25 million) to maintain it.

2. Easter Island—Isla de Pascua, in Spanish, or Rapa Nui, in Polynesian—is the best known of Chile’s Pacific Islands. It lies 2,300 miles (3,700 km) off the coast. Originally called Te Pito O Te Henua (Navel of the World) by the first Polynesian settlers over 1,500 years ago, Easter Island gained its current name when Admiral Jacob Roggeveen, a Dutchman, stumbled upon it on Easter Day in 1772.

3. Chile is the longest country in the world from north to south at 2,647 miles (4,620 km) long and extends across 38 degrees of latitude. The Andes Mountain Range extends the entire length of the country north to south.

4. Chile’s Atacama Desert is the driest desert in the world. Parts of the Atacama have not seen a drop of rain since recordkeeping began. The Atacama is also home to geoglyphs, or large drawings made from stones, arranged on the side of the mountains. The Gigante de Atacama (Atacama Giant), located at Cerro Unitas, is the largest prehistoric anthropomorphic figure in the world at 390 feet (119 m) high and supposedly represents a deity for the indigenous people, from A.D. 1000 to 1400.

5. Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk was marooned for about four years on Chile’s Islas Juan Fernández, located 364 miles (587 km) west of Valparaiso. After being rescued, he published his story of survival and was said to be the inspiration for Daniel Defoe’s classic novel Robinson Crusoe

6. Santiago, the capital city, is also the largest city in Chile. Roughly one-third of the country’s population of 18 million lives in Santiago.

7. Chile is one of the few countries on earth that has a government-supported UFO research organization. Chile’s Central District has had so many reported UFO sightings over the past 20 years that in 2008, the town of San Clemente opened a 19-mile UFO trail that winds through the Andes Mountains, whose plateaus apparently make great landing pads for the UFOs.

10 LIES You Were Told about Chile that Weren't True

Get more Tips here!

Chile is a beautiful country, full of beautiful landscapes and people. However, there are some Things You were Told about Chile and Weren't True. Let's see them.

1) They are too friendly
Well, this is not a bad thing, right? It's not that they are too friendly, it's just that they express their emotions in a closer way. So, if you just met someone, it's very possible you receive a kiss. But it's just a polite way of expressing.

2) Chile is very wet
That's not true at all. This country is very large, and that translates into being full of different climates and landscapes like desert, ice, mountains... to enjoy. So, there are some very wet areas, and also, there are drier ones and so...

3) Everything is small in Chile
In this country, everybody tend to speak by using abbreviations in every word they say. That's the reason why foreign people think everything is small. However it's just a mere way of speaking. Everything is just regular size.

4) Foreigns come to steal
That a huge lie. There's no relationship between immigration and thefts. In fact, in 2017, only a 2% of thefts were comitted by immigrants. Usually the immigrants are the ones that usually suffer thefts Per 1 immigrant convicted, there are 7 immigrant victims.

5) They eat a lot of tacos
People in Chile is always talking about tacos, so that foreign people usually think they eat a lot of these tasty food. However, in Chile tacos means Traffic jams. So, now we know, they have a terrible traffic. Maybe it was better to think the opposite...

6) Foreign people have more benefits
Again, not true. The governemnt just offers some helps to foreign people to get a proper home and some other stuff. But they have no advantages over people from Chile, in fact they have disadvantages in health and financial matters. So, no more benefits.

7) Nothing is made in Chile
The thing is that most of their production comes from the sea and from the farming, and that's why we don't see Made in Chile labels. However, they export millions of their products that are consumed in the whole world. So gaun, big mistake.

8) They are rude
You're completely wrong, even more, they are more polite than the average in America. They use a more formal language, and respect their olders and people from upper classes. So, this is a very wrong rumour you should erase already.

9) There are too many immigrants
That's not true, it's just a matter of perception. Actually, the average of immigration in other countries of America is 8% whereas in Chile is around 2'7%. Also the government is giving helps to foreign people to chose Chile as their new country.

10) The flag of Chile looks like the flag of Texas
Well, they do seem similar, however the Chilean flag is 21 years older than the Texan flag. Both, using the satars and stripes to remain the USA. Then, the color white - the snow of the Andes Mountains; blue - the sky and the Pacific Ocean; the star - guidance and progress; red - the blood spilled in the fight for independence.

Did you used to believe all of these rumours?
