EXPLORING SANTIAGO + WHAT TO EAT IN CHILE // CHILE TRAVEL VLOG
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2024
- Welcome to Santiago, Chile in 2022! Exploring Santiago is a great way to start learning more about Chile and the people who live in it, so in this video we explore the city and eat tons of Chilean food!
We start our exploration of Santiago with a visit to Plaza de Armas before heading to Paseo Ahumada to check out the many shops that pop up along this busy pedestrian street. We also visit the Catedral de Santiago, Plaza de la Constitucion (Constitution Plaza) to see La Moneda Palace (the President's Palace), Mercado la Vega (La Vega Market), Santiago Mercado Central (Santiago's Central Market), and San Cristobal Hill.
In between these attractions we try as many foods as we can stomach in one day! We managed to get our hands on some delicious Chilean flan (we are pretty sure it was flan), crab empandadas, piscola, torta de mil hojas (cake of a thousand leaves), mote con huesillo, hamburguesa chilena from Antigua Fuente, and chorrillana. If you don't know what some of those foods are, enjoy watching us learn about them in this video as well!
We had a jam packed day exploring Chile's capital city, and we hope this video gives you some ideas of what to do and eat for your next visit to Santiago! If you are interested in seeing more videos from South America, hit subscribe to keep up with our adventures!

Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico, full-time travel vloggers searching for adventures all around the globe. In March 2021 we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and hopped on our first ever one-way flight leaving our home country #Canada. We believe #travel builds understanding that reaches across culture, language, and boundaries, and we want to share our experiences as we create connections all over the world. If you like learning about unique places, new cultures and different foods, then come follow our adventure as we explore all our beautiful planet has to offer.
My step dad is from Santiago, Chile! We all sat down as a family (my mom, brother, step dad & I) and watched this video together! It was fun hearing his commentary while we watched your video :) it’s definitely on our list of places to travel to!
Wow we never knew that! That's so cool that he's from Chile. Yes Santiago was such an interesting city, especially with all the recent events happening. Our AirBnB was even nearby where the current president lives in Barrio Yungay, apparently that's not normal for the president to live in a neighborhood and so there was extra security around which was interesting to see. We really wish we had more time in Chile. It's such a big country with many cool travel destinations that we will have to come back one day. We're glad you and the whole fam enjoyed the video 😊
Just subscribed! Great content, I'm so glad I found you guys. Can't wait to catch up on all your other videos. You both are so adorable.
That brought back so many memories of our trip to Chile, thank you.
That is so great to hear! We love hearing that our video sparked some reminiscing from people around the world. Thanks for watching!
Going to visit Santiago next month, awesome video! Thanks for taking us along for the ride :)
You're going to have an awesome time! The food was delicious and people were friendly. Highly recommend doing a free walking tour to get a feel for the city because there's so much that has happened in very recent years (even months!) Enjoy your trip 😁
If you decided to visit again Chile, you would love the southern regions of Chile. Saludos desde Pucon!
That Flan was enormous and looked sooo good!🤩
Omg that last meal looked sooo good ! Thanks for coming 🇨🇱!
Yeah so delicious! Everytime we rewatch this VLOG we get so hungry haha! We loved Chile and will come back again one day :)
@@nicoleandmico ✌️🇨🇱😍 gran video ✌️
Hey guys I'm from Chile!! ... good to see you enjoying food. I think the flan you ordered in the market is a desert we called "leche asada" (translate as roasted milk)
Keep exploring...I'll keep watching your adventures 👍
Wow we never knew! That flan was so good, now we know exactly what to ask for next time. Thanks so much for sharing that 😀 We hope to make it back to Chile again one day 😊
Happy you´ve a nice time in Chile ! god bless ✝☺✌
Thank you we had a great time. Can't wait to come back one day and see more of Chile 🇨🇱
New subscriber really enjoying watching your journeys. Getting me inspired to travel and try these foods and experiences.

increible video!
Thank you!
Bastante informativo lo recomiendo al 100🤗 🎉🎉
Yummy foods Love The churches and beautiful culture
It is a neat city to explore!
Hermosa la cultura de chile ❤
Lovely from India ❤️
Regarding the frikandel. This restaurant and Santiago has lots of German influences. So the frikandel refers to the German Frikadelle (one word in Germany to say juicy minced meat patty, others could be Boulette, Fleischpflanzerl btw.). So the Kraut situation is correct. Frikandel means in other cuisines something a bit different like in Dutch. Take care.
That is so interesting to know - thank you for sharing the information with us!
Great😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice video! I'm going to Santiago soon! :) Did you feel safe in most places you went to in Santiago? I hope you are enjoying your travels!!!
Hey there! How exciting that you are going to Santiago! We actually would say that Santiago is the place in South America that we felt the greatest risk of having our things stolen. We had multiple locals come up to us during our time there and caution us about our cameras and bags and we definitely felt more watches in Santiago than other places. We don't mean to scare you, but to pass along the cautions that we're given to us. We never had any issues even with all our camera gear, but we felt we had to be very mindful of our things! We still had an awesome time (as you saw in the video) but had to be extra vigilant 🙂
Oh wow I’m from chile! I’ll be traveling back may 27! How was the airport hassle? Glad you’re having a good time!
That's great and we're certain you'll have an awesome time 😊 To enter Chile we actually crossed by land from Argentina down south near Punta Arenas. Our experience with the border crossing was very smooth. We just followed what we saw on the IATA website and it worked out well (fully vaccinated and had a pcr test ready). We have another video talking about international travel in case you're interested. Also we suggest joining the Chile travelers Facebook group (if you have FB). It's very active and there is lots of chatter about travel in Chile. I think it was called "Argentina Chile Travel Community". Very useful! Hope this helps 😁
Great video. I was in Chile from april 4th to 26th 2022.
Glad you enjoyed the video. We really wished we saw more of Chile. Where did you go during your visit?
@@nicoleandmico Santiago 3 days, Pucon 3 days , Panguipulli 2 days, Valdivia 2 days, Calama 2 days , San Pedro de Atacama 5 days and Valparaiso 3 days.
Next time, i will go to Patagonia.
Wow that sounds like a great itinerary. We would have loved to do the Atacama and more of the coast. We just tell ourselves that we'll just have to come back. We did go to Patagonia and that was amazing 👏 We did a video on the famous O trek in Torres del Paine too - definitely worth a visit one day! 😊
❤
Heading to the W Trek in January! My friends and I are debating whether or not we should rest in Puerto Natales for a couple days after the trek or head right to Santiago. How tired were you guys after the hike, would you recommend rest days before visiting Santiago? And how many days do you think would be good to spend in Santiago. Is 1 day okay? or should we try to hit 2 or 3?
Really appreciated this video and your packing video for the W/O Trek!
Hey there! If it were us doing the W and we were on a holiday to Chile, we would probably plan to leave for Santiago the day after finishing the trek and then book 3 nights in Santiago. That way you'll have 2 full days in Santiago and can mix in some resting during that time. If you've got more time to spare, then you could add on a day in Santiago for sure! Just a word of caution though, we found Santiago to be a little stressful to visit because theft was a real issue so you're always on edge. I know so many people will say this about lots of South American cities, but after visiting many of them, we can say it is actually true of Santiago. We had about 5 locals talk to us during our day of filming in Santiago and tell us to be very careful with our bags, phones, camera gear, etc. We never had an issue, but we did feel pretty on edge as a result.
Oh interesting! Wasn't expecting the comment on crime. We'll definitely keep that in mind, especially when choosing places to stay. Thank you!!
Who did you use for walking tour I am going Chile next month any recommendations
Nice and beautiful video
Thanks for watching. We enjoyed the city a ton!
@@nicoleandmico No thanks for the duty, I wish you good luck
Thank you!
@@nicoleandmico excuse me
❤❤❤❤
Lol. Santiago looks amazing compared to any US city. The opioid and homelessness situation in the US is beyond out of control. There are tents and garbage lining the downtown sidewalks everywhere. Santiago honestly looks like a breath of fresh air.
Ola buena esperiencia
Is Chile a country you could see yourself living there longterm!? Is Chile a whole lot of fun… 😊👍🏻
❤muy bueno
Gracias!

We loved Santiago so it was our pleasure ☺ Glad you enjoyed!
Would you say it is safe enough to travel solo?
I am going to Chile in Nov 2023!

Rapa Nui!
We'd love to go one day but heard it was expensive to go to 😫
thank you for visiting us and your video, please don't eat in street its not legal, santiago was clean and order just a few years ago, we hope live this way again.
Hola.
Es muy importante comunicar a sus suscriptores, que NO deben probar o degustar comida callejera, No se vende comida tipica Chilena en las calles, las medidas higiénicas de quienes las venden es muy deficiente, hace poco se detecto que vendían carne de perro, una persona se comio un "chip de mascota", quizas la excepción es consumir "Mote con Huesillos" ( que es lo único que si pueden probar en los diferentes carritos). El resto de los platos típicos es mejor probarlos en locales establecidos.
Hello.
It is very important to communicate to your subscribers, that they should NOT try or taste street food, typical Chilean food is not sold in the streets, the hygienic measures of those who sell it is very poor, recently it was detected that they were selling dog meat, a person he ate a "pet chip", perhaps the exception is consuming "Mote con Huesillos" (which is the only thing you can try in the different carts). The rest of the typical dishes are best tried in established places.
Hi there! Thanks for watching our video and for your comment. Street food can be tricky in terms of hygiene, but we are big fans of trying as many new foods as we can in a new country! Like you say, it is definitely important to be careful about what vendors you buy from!
Me gustaria ir a conoser chile
Es un hermoso país para visitar. Si puede ir, le recomendamos que vaya más al sur y explore la Patagonia. ¡Es tan increíble!
Esta es la idea para el proximo año
@@salvaher8637 ¡Impresionante!
Mote con huesillo is a traditional Chilean summer-time drink often sold in street stands or vendor carts. It is a non-alcoholic beverage consisting of a sweet clear nectar-like liquid made with dried peaches (huesillo) cooked in sugar, water and cinnamon, and then once cooled, mixed with fresh cooked husked wheat (mote).

The flan was done wrongly (for Chile, probably the store was run by non-Chileans) in Chile the flan is silky and extremely smooth. The torta de mil hojas was also wrong, should be done with many layers of thin dough made with egg yolks and flower it is time consuming but that is the only proper way to make a torta de mil hojas.
Looks like we will have to try them again when we are in Chile next time!
My wife lived in Santiago, Chile her whole life and she said the same thing about the torta! (She moved to the United States with me last year) 😊😊
The torta was great and maybe there are different kinds 😅 we'd love to taste them all!
I think it was "leche asada"
Jo
No es cebada. Es trigo, (trigo mote en Chile)
The mote !!! unfortunately that drink was served by the elderly. Pushing a cart it was incredible. But today is been monopolize and is pretty much garbage .
Same with the bread it used to be an artisan job made by hand . Now monopolize
Oh wow we didn't know that! Thank you for sharing the information with us
We’re you a child actor? You look so familiar. I’m thinking Neapolitan Dynamite.
Haha no, but thanks for the compliment!
Read more before posting
Still fun video
Glad you enjoyed!
Don’t touch street food.
Santiago was known for its high density of stray cats and dogs.
Today is hard to find any
Even pets get snatched and roasted as “street food”
Oh my, we certainly hope that's not still the case. Thanks for watching!
@@nicoleandmico that is not true. I think it was fake news. But always be careful and buy things at the local establishment

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.
13:03 if you want to taste pisco sour you need to get in Peru where is pisco from. In Chile you will get a so called pisco that really is "aguardiente". You get pisco distilling the grapes. You get "aguardiente=chilean pisco" distilling the waste of the grapes. Different processes, different final product.
Wow we didn't know that! Lucky for us we're heading to Peru next week so we'll be on the lookout for the original pisco! 😉🤭 thank you!
Chile, Puerto Williams: The REAL End of The World
Argentina, usuaia: FAKE "end of the world" (more than 44 km to te NORTH)
Yes we heard thats further south but isn't officially a city (we were told). Regardless we would love to visit one day!
@@nicoleandmico Yes but "if is a city is not the think" the think is southess. The "australity is a think of geografy not of urbanism.
Maybe the right answer is just Antarctica 😆 🐧🐧🐧
@@nicoleandmico Yes there is reclamations of Chile, Argentina and UK but the Elizabeth Island closer to the Antartica is chilean.
Love Chile, but I see OLNY your face ( not interested) show people, streets etc 😕
That is because this is our vlog and our memories. We hope you enjoyed seeing Chile through our eyes.
mote con huesillo que compras en la calle es mierda, mejor hacerlo en casa.
don't buy shit on the streets lol.
But the mote was delicious? Also we don't live in Chile so it's tough to get in a Chilean home if you don't know anyone. We are just reporting what we tried from the street foods and it was muy bueno!
