It's incredible how much Santiago has changed, before there wasn't that amount of illegal trade or that much garbage in the streets or not that way, but even so I would say it's safe. I recently went to downtown Santiago and it has its charm. PD: add sub-in spanish

[@CyberspacedLoner]

Lots of illegal immigration from Colombia, Venezuela, Haiti, Peru, Bolivia the past 10-12 years

[@MyChannel-ul3tm]

Migrants ruined the country 😢

2:10. Locos are usually eaten well cooked. 7:16. Wheat and cooked dehydrated peaches (in case you missed the subtitles.)

I found this video to be very informative and inspirational, thanks for making it! I am heavily considering buying a winter-home in Chile sometime in the next decade and I've never tried Chilean food. I look forward to more of your videos bro.

[@ng5265]

I LOVE mote. Haven't tasted it over 30 years! I need a trip to Chile soon.❤️

[@johnkulikowski]

Pisco is not “a whiskey version of grappa”. Whatever that means? It is made from grapes, fermented then distilled making it a “brandy”. Grappa is made from reconstituted grape must.

[@felipeyanez7786]

The Chilean bread!!!! Delicious and unique

Miss Chile SO much! 😢

[@nickspangler5912]

Great video! Thanks for documenting your adventure :)

[@retrofuturistic8]

I will be in Santiago in a few weeks for my first visit to Chile. The quality of the food is important to me wherever I travel. What I gathered from this video is, in Santiago, I will find delicious Peruvian cuisine made with Chilean ingredients, which sounds like a winner to me. I am definitely looking forward to Chilean fish 'n' chips.

[@matainuela]

you right it's very different that few years ago.

[@yallegotupachucote123]

Hola, buen conocimiento de chile, te felicito, saludos desde Quillota

[@StratBurst92]

I noticed a pawn stars sign on the street.

[@danczarnik457]

I'm currently here spending a month. Nice vid, should have shown or gave a lowdown on the Constanera Center I feel is a decent highlight.

[@richardwilkinson72]

A Pisco sour will set you back $10 here in Florida, and there are not many bars where you can find it. Best to get your fill before moving on.

[@lilychiarella9082]

Mote con huesillo is not canned peaches, we slow cook it to make it soft.

[@CristinaContreras-zw1tg]

Me gusta este vídeo

Thank you I got an epileptic attack 🤣

I will be in Santiago in January, I'm looking forward to it.

Congrio is an eel. When in Chile you have to order the Corvina, chilean sea bass is an expensive Michelin star fish. $20 will buy you a whole fish at the fish mongers.

[@scotverdin9401]

Just found your channel and really like it!!

[@kojirosasaki8129]

Another great video.

[@bastiannicolas5590]

Saludo. jajajaja cheers m8

[@uiio7644]

It's always been dangerous like that, not scary crimes but small robbery. Literally always. It's one of the things we export outside, there was even a sign in the UK that warned about chileans stealing ppl

[@jackiedeferrari8551]

Thanks you my friend Awesome job 🇺🇸🇸🇪

[@Laura-xv4io]

I suggest that you move this video from your playlist of Argentina and Uruguay to a playlist for Chile

[@alexrambo3325]

Thanks for visiting our country.

[@felipekemp1]

that flan is "leche asada"

[@lilychiarella9082]

Santiago is NOT land locked! It has the coast only one hour away like you said, so no, it’s not that. I’m Chilean and I know .

[@nicoleo.6122]

Leche asada it's actually traditional in south american countrys, like Chile.

[@gabejones5147]

pisco is a brandy

[@janojano74]

so many foreigners, amazing

[@bastian_x.x]

Not really... carriles people destroy chile

[@jamesquirozolara9419]

Sorry but Mote con Huesillos is Dried Peach not Canned and yes Barley

[@skyhigh33716]

Dehydrated peaches ..not can!

[@CynDiaz]

What a click bait! You didn't have a completo 😠. 🤣

[@mutilatedhatred4868]

Kejeso

[@ritterkorps]

Comiste hasta comida peruana , no es de aca( tampoco del peru 😂😂) pero no es habitual en Chile

[@AlexG-oz1kb]

If you want to taste real tradition food, santiago isn't the place, Santiago right now is full of foreigner selling their food , but if you go either south or north you'll find out excellent Chilean food. South MEET, BBQ, BEERS. North WINE, SEA FOOD, FRUITS, and so on..

[@carolinagallardo9481]

I'm a chilean living in the US since 1996 and I went back to visit in 2007 and Chile has definitely changed for the worse since then for what I've seen in the news and for what I seen in this video, I'm sure that the immigration that has been happening these few years has something to do with it, it is sad to know that the government doesn't do anything to get it under control, I'm planning on going on December and it kind of scares me to get jumped when walking on the street. Try to go outside Santiago maybe to Valparaiso or Viña del mar, it might be safer.

[@bluequeen8022]

Recuerdos del Piñi, ahora es muy difícil entrar a Chile, especialmente si vienes de países como Venezuela o Perú

[@gabejones5147]

congrio is the conger ell

[@anawalkman8404]

Chile wasn't like that six years ago..I'm chilean and live in California .I feel embarrassed to see my trashy country now..😢😢😢

[@blancabuchanan3654]

This is not the Santiago I remember. Definitely a change but not for the better.

[@bastian_x.x]

Foreing people destroy santiago...

[@MegaIsaias10]

no grapppa im chilean, its a brandy ❤❤

[@user-uz8cw1yt2b]

$12.00US dollar for food? That’s way too high for travellers. Keep it low. I’ve got 3 1/2 months of traveling time in South America.

[@CynDiaz]

Fish in stgo? No, my friend, go everywhere else in the country 🤭

[@leonardosariego1901]

Imagino nunca en tu vida has ido al Mercado Central o estás super desinformada, porque el mercado se abastece de las principales caletas pesqueras del país como Tongoy, Camarones, Calbuco, Los Molles, Puerto Williams, etc...

[@CynDiaz]

@@leonardosariego1901 No dije que no hubiera. Pero, considerando que han de transportarlo a stgo, la frescura y calidad del pescado disminuye. Razón por la siempre, Al visitar familia en stgo, nos piden a nosotros, que Somos de Valparaíso, que llevemos la pesca del dia, pues El pescado disponible en Stgo no es El mejor. Fin de mi experiencia personal. Volviendo al contexto general, claro, debe haber Buenos platillos y restaurants que ofrezcan pescado en Stgo. Mi comentario original no sabe lo que está diciendo. Cómo me atrevo?!

[@haraldmauricio3937]

Quien te invito weon

[@BunnyFoooFoo]

Main issue with supporting the locals is that it helps to keep the illegal trade going. No one is happy with illegal trade and the amount of trash has really make the center of Stgo look awful. Otherwise good video

[@pedrocornejo6744]

" A lo pobre " ( poor = pobre ) is full plate 🍽 isn't a recipe

[@eduandrade9390]

For us Chileans, the center does not look safe because we are not used to being like the rest of Latin America, but now the downtown is full of immigrants who make it look that ugly.

[@ss5151]

no debio comprar torta en base a leche en la calle menos en verano !!, malas costumbres traidas por inmigrantes

[@methodos100]

Chile disappeared when the poor and ignorant world of the Caribbean arrived some years ago. Chile was the best, today it has the same problems of Colombia and Venezuela. They destroyed the good things that the Chileans created.

[@mutilatedhatred4868]

What problems would that be 😮

[@victorvallejos816]

So sad what immigrants have changed the whole city vibes. Now looks an unsafe place to walk around

[@MYLORDCLC123]

[@4nimalidad]

Cuando tienes a todo un empresariado dueño del país en contra de un gobierno, interviniendo los medios de comunicación, más un ex gobierno que dejó al país en el peor escenario posible, especialmente con delincuencia y migración, y cuando tienes una inflación mundial tremenda, nadie puede hacer el trabajo como quisiera... Se nota que lo tuyo debe ser mirar la tele y no pensar.

Santiago is very horrible right now, because carribean people came years ago...

[@JorgeRamirez-yr2lz]

Pisco is from Peru, not Chile.

[@MegaTrixr4kids]

Fake news

[@CynDiaz]

Chilean pisco and Peruvian pisco are two different things. They have a name sake situation. So stop fighting over nothing.

[@crist67mustang]

Nobody cares.

[@nachc6459]

Es chileno!

[@kevinhenriquez3242]

Pendiente de los videos de chile 😄😄

[@jme5173]

Chile is not a 3rd world country, so things will definitely be a “little more expensive” - but no different in price than the US. The President in office now, will absolutely not fix the economy or the quality of life …. I’m not going to chastise, because you and many as foreigners visiting the country wouldn’t know any better. We were never EVER similar to a Mexico. I’m so happy that you got to visit the wonderful country of Chile, but please don’t talk about politics or compare to other countries if you’ve never lived there or other countries. A “turistas” words can be very damaging, but they can also be very helpful if you know what topics to avoid … especially if you’re just visiting.

[@dresmat72]

Mercado Central is one of the most expensive places to eat typical food, they sort of prey on foreigners, for a not so fancy or clean place they should have lower prices.

[@harveythompson6951]

We were there in 2016. The aggressiveness of the restaurant workers in the mercado trying to get you to eat at their place was a real turn off. Also there were no bargains to be had there for sure. a real tourist trap.
