I was at San Pedro in january. It was the most amazing place I had been in all my life. If you have the opportunity to go there, don't think twice

[@shirleyss]

Yes I went there driving a rented car ! Loved every minute , petrol stations were the difficult to find , I would bring a petrol gallon

[@alanguitar666]

This is one of those videos that makes me fall in love with nature's gifts. Thanks Jon!!!!!!!

[@AntonWongVideo]

Two days in Atacama! Sounds really affordable for ~$60 USD

[@DiegoBello]

Pasaje a 5 lucas, cómo!!! Gracias por mostrar partes de la tierra de mi niñez :)

[@DrewCantSkate]

If you're outside of Chile definitely make sure you book plane tickets through the Chilean site!! I think they were approx 4x more expensive on the website specifically for my English speaking country

[@reggiaceci]

Hermoso San Pedro..tuve la oportunidad de ir 2 veces..tour a los geiser..lagunas altiplánicas..valle de la luna..Lindo mi Chile Querido.Saludos Jon..me encantan tus videos.

[@christianmartinez1921]

Hello Jon, great video, I never thought it could be so cheap to travel to Atacama, good to know! Best regards and Happy Birthday in advance!

[@chiquichiquister]

Hi tio Jon, me impresiona ver el camino San Pedro tan verde, se ve que ha llovido, cuenta como es el cielo en la noche, seguro que viste cuán pequeños somos, Saludos

[@thomy6302]

Todo muy lindo, quizas algun dia conoceré San Pedro de Atacama🥰

[@esperanzaalmonte6259]

Hola Jon, cuanto tiempo. Esta hermoso el video. La "nube" que vieron se le llama camanchaca del aimara kamanchaka que significa "oscuridad" es una niebla espesa. Saludos Jon. Hasta la próxima y Chao pescao.

Dreaming from lockdown here in Gringolandia.

[@andyintheandes6458]

Jon I love these budget videos-- please make more when you eventually get to travel more! (someday... we hope... lol) I too want to see more of Chile but don't have tons of cash laying around... so these are some awesome tips.

[@jorgem646]

Ahora si con traducción en español, gracias 👍

[@2315Bea]

It would be nice to know the name of the place where you stayed! Thanks for the tips. I’m glad that you are showing to the world how beautiful is Chile 🇨🇱

[@RodrigoSilvaDiaz]

Beautiful landscapes from our North :)

[@VhpR6]

Hola Jon, no fuiste al Museo?

[@GlobeTrotterOtter]

I see you're wearing a South Carolina cap! Are you from SC originally? We live in Atlanta and will be visiting Chile this September 2024! Thanks for the tips!

[@JonGrossGringo]

How awesome!!! I was just in Atlanta and am now visiting family in Knoxville but I'm originally from Wisconsin and live in Ecuador. I travel a lot :)

[@maxabubri6258]

Excelente el video jon esa es la actitud te felicito

[@JonGrossGringo]

Max Abubri muchas gracias!!!

[@hernanugarte8966]

Nice 👍🏻, you may have to buy or get a better and powerful lens, but you do an amazing job

[@alexieleternus5100]

Te faltó ir a los geiser del tatio Todo un espectaculo

[@furrycoolportraits4988]

great video! Well done ! We will be going there in Mid dec , could you please share with us where you were staying? Thank you :))

[@renemedina8026]

hey dudes great information and great video happy Father’s Day from grand lake Colorado from camp site elevation 8,369

[@marcelavildosola]

Can you tell me the name of the place you stayed? i really liked it, i would like to stay in there.

[@wayward_artificer]

Can’t wait to visit my mother in Santiago

[@jeromehallan2775]

Just out of curiosity, was your rental car a 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive? How was the quality of roads? Can you manage with 2 wheel drive car?

[@JonGrossGringo]

I think it was just two wheel drive. The "Duster" car was great. It doesn't need to be much more than this I don't think!

[@pilarnew9848]

HOW did you get those airplane tix so cheap? Online shows them at about US$100 which is insane

[@nickp.1434]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanaco My great great grandfather used to go hunting for them in the Cajon del Maipo. He had a place there and he would invite his best friends on an excursion every year that would last a few weeks in the Andes. Aguanaco might be another Spanish local name for them. Great video as always, liked the tips. Maybe mention more U.S. prices if you can. Happy Father's Day too.

[@snwXcore]

hey, neat tips on a budget! cool video @san pedro de atacama tho 🤙

[@amoreblendito7304]

God you are expleing THE prises and fight . Nice work

En EEUU me han dicho que es caro viajar de estado a estado

[@danielabelen7845]

Happy father's day !!! Have a beautiful day! ❤

[@luismachuca-gn6nd]

Decretaron cuarentena para el norte desde el martes aprovechen

[@pierrecastellares]

As a solo traveller, I find tip #3 not very practical. After considering fronting the expense of rental car and fuel, I would be better tainf the tour. I also consider how much would be worth not to be the one doing the driving or figuring out the way. Of course, I could find other people to share the experience and split the expense at my hostel but i would probably be stuck driving myself due to liabilities.

[@katherinegodoy9071]

Jon podrias hacer una colaboración con (gringo mode on) seria genial verlos en un video juntos , saludos desde santiago ❤️

[@consuelomarambioacevedo9435]

❤GRACIAS POR CONOCER ❤MI PAIS Y YO CONOCERLO ATRAVEZ DE TUS VIDEO POR MUCHO DE NOSOTRO NO PODEMOS CONOCERLO

[@valeriaklauss8895]

Esos tiempos, eso es lo bueno de chile 🇨🇱 los cost 👌 hay que tener tiempo para viajar . Y también porque los pasajes no se concretan en una sola compañía.

[@florianr.7275]

Nice guys but a lot of general blablabla ;) I needed to change speed of the video :D

[@Mateus.Matthew]

Atacama does not appear to offer a very impressive landscape when compared to what the Sahara, Rub al-Khair (Empty Quarters) or other Saudi-Emirati-Omani landscapes offer. Even the desert landscape in Nevada looks better, to be honest. Is this the main tourist attraction for Chile?

[@christianmartinez1921]

It's not, but if you like deserts you better stay where you are.

[@rayosideral5201]

It has to do with the 'energy' which you can experience there... It's called: 'Pacha Mama'. That 'energy' can only be felt in Southamerica. It's not just about landscapes. That's the difference.

[@furrycoolportraits4988]

well said @@rayosideral5201

[@bernardocea119]

Gosh...! You are without a face mask....It seems like you sneaked off your accomodation ...! Incidentally ,it seems like your wife flaked on you. She hasn't appeared in your videos lately....Gee..! You must 've made it rain in San Pedro ,not in vain your friend smiles from ear to ear while carrying some stubbies by the dusty streets of that hamlet...

[@christianmartinez1921]

Este video se grabó antes de la pandema, lo dice en la descripción, no había necesidad de usar mascarilla en esa época. Todos los últimos videos de Jon han sido con su esposa. Estás hablando de lo que no sabes.

[@bernardocea119]

@@christianmartinez1921 What a yarn ,mate...! If ya' wished to blow the horn ,you already did it. Congrats...!
