EXPLORING SANTIAGO + WHAT TO EAT IN CHILE // CHILE TRAVEL VLOG

[@ambergajdos2633]

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!

[@nicoleandmico]

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 😊

[@crissy8310]

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.

[@harryvose6675]

That brought back so many memories of our trip to Chile, thank you.

[@nicoleandmico]

That is so great to hear! We love hearing that our video sparked some reminiscing from people around the world. Thanks for watching!

[@aliceweiss6711]

If you decided to visit again Chile, you would love the southern regions of Chile. Saludos desde Pucon!

[@nickspangler5912]

Going to visit Santiago next month, awesome video! Thanks for taking us along for the ride :)

[@nicoleandmico]

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 😁

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 :)

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 👍

[@nicoleandmico]

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 😊

Great video. I was in Chile from april 4th to 26th 2022.

[@nicoleandmico]

Glad you enjoyed the video. We really wished we saw more of Chile. Where did you go during your visit?

[@TazzDenis]

@@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.

[@nicoleandmico]

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! 😊

That is so great to hear - thank you for watching and subscribing! We are excited to have you join us!

[@katrinlausch3078]

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.

[@nicoleandmico]

That is so interesting to know - thank you for sharing the information with us!

[@keatscubes]

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!

[@nicoleandmico]

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.

[@keatscubes]

Oh interesting! Wasn't expecting the comment on crime. We'll definitely keep that in mind, especially when choosing places to stay. Thank you!!

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.

[@SpaceCat8008]

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!!!

[@nicoleandmico]

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 🙂

[@irrelevant5634]

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!

[@nicoleandmico]

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 😁

My advice is if you go to Santiago be careful with your smartphones and cameras there're so many thief from Venezuela, Colombia and Haiti. The local people are very quiet, warm and friendly but, for an average tourist who goes without any information it is difficult to distinguish the difference between one and the other and sometimes because of them we look very bad to the tourists.

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).

[@egeni2743]

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.

[@nicoleandmico]

Looks like we will have to try them again when we are in Chile next time!

[@Bays1k]

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) 😊😊

[@nicoleandmico]

The torta was great and maybe there are different kinds 😅 we'd love to taste them all!

I think it was "leche asada"

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.

[@nicoleandmico]

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!

[@cristianramirez9148]

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.

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

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”

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.
