jajajaja , the music is compromising since we are not a Caribbean country we are Austral from the south greetings
I like getting the price of things Yes they may get outdated but it is at least a reasonable approximation. I suggest showing a map and the order of doing things with respect to distance.
Thanks.
Thanks for this video. It helped us decide to stay in this beautiful city on our way to Patagonia.
My dear friend, this video is truly so calming and brings so much peace to my soul. I am sure not only me but many of us who watch your videos. You truly inspire, motivate, and wake us up to get on the journey of our lives and make something out of the time we have been given. Thanks again and wishing you the best on your journey!
Wow what a cool city! You two have great chemistry
Aww shucks! Thanks! ❤
Holy smokes, these views! Chile is def’ high on our list. This is gonna come in handy when we start planning for it. Awesome, guys!
Chile is such an incredible country! It certainly is worth a visit! Any plans to visit that part of the world anytime soon you two?
love your videos! would love to see more chile videos! (eg. national parks, other areas)
Thanks you for us to see beautiful places
Glad you found it useful! Thanks!
Amazing video!!
Aww thank you so much! We're so glad you liked it! 😃
Great video, I'm going to Santiago in September it has been very helpful
Hi Corey! We hope it was a great trip! Did you have a favorite part of the trip? 😊
Yes it was a great trip, I especially enjoyed Valparaiso. Actually went their their independence holiday week
@@pimpcatl1 Wow that must have been AWESOME! So glad it was a great trip!
Great video, although be aware that Plaza de Armas is not the best place to sit and relax nowadays, as it’s not safe anymore.
Saludos!
Thanks for the tip Daniela! 😊
Outstanding review again guys!! So crisp and clean!! On topic and fun
Thanks so much Ramelep! We're glad you enjoyed it! Lots more coming out soon too! 😊
Great video!!😃👍
Thank you!
Superb, we love it!
Thanks guys! We appreciate it!
Thanks for the travel guide it was super helpful! We'd love to go to Santiago one day.
We're so glad you liked it! Santiago is such an incredible city! 🇨🇱
Great video, we found Santiago so interesting:)
The Araucan Park (Las Condes) is also a very good park. Nice video
That sounds awesome!!! I guess thats a reason for us to visit again someday! Thanks for sharing!
Great video, i liked your speed and comments. Great editing btw. Only thing i missed was chilean music, since we dont feel identified with caribbean music. Nevertheless thats the only detail. Amazing video. I will suscribe, good luck.
im Chilena living in Australia and this video really gives you an idea of what you could do in the city! great job
I'm so glad!
@@SharingtheRoad😅😅😎💪very good✌
Santiago does look a wonderful city to explore. Thanks for showing us the highlights.
Your Welcome! Glad you found it useful!
Going there in April!
Planning April 2024. Hope yours goes well!
We hope both of your trips go well! It's a fantastic place! :)
Great video, how long did it take you to get up the Lucia Hill? Thanks.
Lovely from India ❤️
Me gusta este video
Wow chile is so beautiful, this month I will go
We hope you have an AMAZING trip! You'll love Chile!
Great video! Where would you recommend staying in Santiago? and for how long? Thank-you! We are heading there next year!
Hi Bobby! We wanted to stay in the heart of the city, and our Hostel was called Merced 88. We liked the location because it was nearby Barrio Lastarria, and was a
@@SharingtheRoad ok cool thanks! Thinking of staying near the Barrio Lastarria neighbourhood too, as we want to be nearby restaurants / bars. We have been told that Valparaiso is also a must see - either a stay or day visit (your video also made it look like a great town to see). As we have only 5 days total (3 full days /2 travel days) would you recommend just a day trip to Valparaiso instead of staying there? What time does it get dark in Santiago & is the Valparaiso bus meant to be relatively safe at night? Very excited for our South American trip next year. We will also be traveling to Rio de Janeiro, Medellin, Cusco & Lima (Machu Picchu & Rainbow mountain) and La Paz before back to Santiago to fly home! A lot to pack into 4 weeks!altitude
My boyfriend lives in Santiago (born and bred), and he says to not visit the city. Unfortunately, there are folks looking to steal, police dying, drug trafficking stuff going on, and he told me that they are racist against anyone who has darker shades of skin...
Santiago was much safer than now a couple of years ago, unfortunately with the massive arrival of foreigners, there started to be less security and more crime. I'm not saying that everything is their fault, I'm just saying that before that massive arrival, Santiago was much safer, you could walk at night without fear of being assaulted. Although Chile is in Latin America, it is a very different country from the others, people are usually colder, calmer, even more shy, unlike the Caribbean (most of the immigrants are from there), where most have not adapted to the country, playing loud music, selling things on the street illegally, explosive increase in prostitution (derived from a 1,300% increase in human trafficking), etc. This causes a cultural shock. Chile is not a racist country, you are welcome, as long as you respect the rules of the country, which unfortunately many immigrants (by the way, many of them entered the country illegally) do not do.
P.S. In fact, since the 90's, we had many Peruvians immigrating to Chile, there was never a problem with them, they adapted very well to the country.
That's crazy to hear. My girlfriends darker and her middle names are Santiago Guardiola... kind of ironic that she would be a dark foreigner and not be able to feel "guarded" in a city that she has the same name as.
Nice 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thanks!
How many days do you nee to visit the places you recommended?
I love your video😍 I will be in Santiago in less than a month.... could you tell me where's the BEST place to get Chilean currency???
George, we hope you LOVE your time in Santiago, it's an incredible city! There are lots of banks around the city that should have ATMS inside that you can withdraw currency from. I'm sure there are ATMs in the airport too, but they might have a higher fee when you withdraw given its at the airport.
Hi. A nice video. I live in the Southeast USA. I’d like to visit Santiago, Chile. If I go, it’ll be by myself. I’m a young, white hispanic, American male. I can speak some Spanish. Should I feel safe going there alone in South America by myself on vacation for a week? Do you recommend I rent a car to get around or just rely on the hotel shuttle, Uber and taxis? I may go to Chile in either August or September. Any tips would be nice. Thanks. 👌🏻
If you are only going to Santiago then it is better to travel by subway, each ticket costs less than a dollar. Even leaving the city is easy by bus and micro, 1 hour away is El Cajon del Maipo and 2 hours away by bus is the sea. I recommend Valparaiso and Viña del Mar, they are almost sister cities although very different from each other.
It's perfectly safe for solo travel! Spanish will help as most people don't speak English. Definitely recommend getting a metro card, it's cheap, easy to get anywhere in the city, and one of the best public transportation systems in LATAM. When I was there in 2016, the metro card was also good for the buses. I lived there for six months and used the buses a few times, but used the metro daily. 😅 I really only used Uber and taxis getting to and from the airport or if I was too lazy to take the metro.
The only thing you really need to be mindful of is pickpocketing. People will cram like sardines during rush hour at the metro so avoid keeping valuables in your pockets or exterior bag pockets, and keep your hands on your stuff at all times. Other than that it's completely safe.
If you go check out the restaurant La Piojera, and the Museo de Bellas Artes. Also day trips to Valparaiso and Vina del Mar are easy from Santiago. 😊
Btw - depending on your budget I recommend trying to do two weeks instead of one. You'll probably spend at least two travel days for flying, and if you're making the trip it's worth trying to fit in the Atacama Desert (northern Chile) and the Patagonia (southern Chile).
Since Santiago has flights to both, you could probably do the whole trip in two weeks if you hustled. 3 days in Santiago, 3-4 in the Atacama, 1 day back in Santiago, 4 in the Patagonia.
Great video guys, I just stumbled on your channel and like your travel style (I subscribed). In April, my wife and I are going to Santiago and Valparaiso. We'll have 7 or 8 full days on the ground. How many days would you recommend for each city. I really appreciate your time and input.
Hey Mike! You and your wife are going to LOVE Chile, it's a terrific country! Both cities are great, and have a different feel to them. Valparaiso feels less hustle and bustle, and if you like slowly walking the streets, admiring the artwork, and sitting in a cafes, Valparaiso is perfect. Santiago probably has more museums, higher end restaurants, and specific areas to explore, but definitely feels much more like a large city. I think you probably could do half and half honestly, they both are great cities!
@@SharingtheRoad Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. Honestly, I was hoping you were going to suggest splitting the time (it just means they're both worth it.)
No problem! We hope you guys have a great trip!
where do you get the awesome music for your video?
Hi! We get the majority of our music from the CZcams Audio Library, which is a free collection of music! We're glad you like it! 😊
You missed Pueblo los Dominicos y Barrio Bellavista
Montaña majica
Looks like LA
no bario Italia?
The eternal problem of Santiago is the smog. I went there a few times only because I need to go, never for visiting :)
Costarera center
Hey guys!
Awesome video, such good information. Definitely need to put Santiago on my to visit list.
But you need to have more Spanish lessons to pronounce that Barrio name better. Hahahahaha. Just joking. Thank you for sharing.
Hahahaha we know we do! Michael took several years of Spanish in high school and clearly we have lots of re-learning to do 😊. Its such a useful (and fun) language so hopefully we can get better at it again! And thanks Andres! 😊
That is Peruvian ceviche, we know that in many countries they do it... but each one has its own way of preparing it, but they imitate Peruvian ceviche, a beautiful city, I was lucky to meet it, but they prepare almost the same Peruvian dishes. ..but they change their name and say they are traditional dishes...
How did you find Santiago after all the civil unrest from last year? From what I saw in the media, many buildings were destroyed and the Plaza de Armas was a war zone!
Hi Eddy, we found Santiago to be rebuilt well. There was one demonstration, or "manifestation" while we were there on a Friday night, but even that was cleaned up quickly.
Heli sweet eddy
Hi. How was the pollution?
Hi! It wasn't too bad when we were there! We were able to see the mountains fine!
Barrio la histeria
ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ 🤗
Is English widely spoken there?
We found it to be spoken sporadically. My high-school level spanish skills have certainly deteriorated, and we were able to get by without much spanish and google translate. But it certainly helps if you speak a bit! 😊 Are you planning a trip to Santiago?
@@SharingtheRoad absolutely I am planning a trip there in 2024. Just got back from Sydney, Australia two weeks ago. I do a international destination every year and next year it's Santiago.
@@odell2970 Ahhh that sounds INCREDIBLE!!! We've heard great things about Australia, (I actually have an old work-friend in Melbourne that I'd love to visit). That's so cool. I'd 100% recommend Santiago. We also loved Lima in Peru as well! So cool that you make that effort to go somewhere new. What are some of your favorite spots you've visited?
@@SharingtheRoad Toronto Canada, Dubai, Switzerland, Cairo, Egypt, London, England, Paris, France, Sydney, Australia, Caribbean, and every major city in the united states. Still many more places to visit in the years to come. So far my favorite destination if I had to pick one it would be Switzerland for sure. The place is gorgeous anywhere you go and the mountain excursions are breathtaking.
@@odell2970 AHHH Thats so inspiring. Many of those places are on our "to-travel-to" list, and it's great to hear that they live up to their name. Its always fun connecting with a fellow travel lover! Best of luck with next years Santiago trip! 😊
Crispy…butttery…flakey… 😂
"Baked in a buttery crispy flake" 😆 That video never gets old!
La musica wn😂,somos literalmente el pais mas ustral del mundo
No estamos ni en el mismo hemisferio q el caribe😅
Listeria? A bacterial infection
You missed several places of great importance. 100 meters from the Plaza de armas there is the Museo de arte precolombino. Google it. You missed Costanera sky, Mapocho train station, terminal pesquero where you can eat some bad @ss ceviche and a few others. Pickpockets is the least worring kind, you have to watch out for those who will put a knife to your throat and take your things, even in the middle of the day in central Santiago. When in Chile, never wear expensive stuff, specially juwelery. I give your video 5 outta 10.
Is it clothes or the obvious 'foreign tourist' look? I mean I don't have any expensive clothes, but I clearly stand out as a tourist ( I'm a 'ranga with a broad Ozzie accent). I'm curious, because my most recent trips pre and post Covid have been to countries where street attacks are not a thing - Japan, Malaysia, South Korea and western Canada. I have travelled widely and been to risky countries, but it's been a while since I felt concious of the people around me. What's your take?
That music isn"t comun here...
La musica no es muy caracteristica ya que somos australes mas frios no somos buenos bailarines somos bien secos cono finlandeses o nenewlandeces
CHILE THE BROTHELHOUSE OF LATIN AMERICA:
We were a country with 17 million inhabitants and, only in 2 and 1/2 governments (presidents: Bachelet, Piñera and Boric), they have filled us with "MASSIVE IMMIGRATION AND WITHOUT BORDER CONTROL". This makes us very sad and hopeless as Chileans, since more than 2 million (Latin American) immigrants have arrived in less than a decade, radically changing our culture and customs of our traditions. It has been a cultural shock since a lot of crime has arrived (hitmen, murders, kidnappings, robberies, street food sales, a lot of noise, etc.).
Massive migrations are promoted by the UN and the Jesuits.
Greetings.
eso es la pura verdad, lamentablemente estos ultimos gobiernos nos han vendido al mejor postor...gobiernos antichilenos y antipatriotas

The music has nothing to do with Chile, the music in the video represents more the countries of Central America, or more to the north of Chile like Colombia, Venezuela, etc.
Chile is very different from the rest of the Latin American countries, greetings
Please change the Caribbean music 🎶, unbelievable you visited a country and do not know the proper music for the video, maybe an AI next time could help .
Enoying presentation!Talk too fast .
Santa Lucia, not Saint Lucia... come on, make some effort on the Spanish names.
After watching I decided NOT to go there. Nothing interesting.😢
Boring city.. empty energy
