10:47. That's the tallest building in South America. The tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere is in Jakarta.

Hey bro, what an awesome place to explore! Loved the park in the middle of the city and that architecture was gorgeous 😍 so much awesome street art too 🎨 always good to see the local foods and drink... I bet I'd love the purple corn drink! Honestly though, the hot dog sounded banging too 😂mixed ticket sounded like good value for money mate and the views were soooo good - especially in the cable car!

[@LukeGeeTravels]

There is a lot to see and do! As much as I love walking tours, I always enjoy walking alone even more because of the flexibility that it gives me to see more things off the beaten path!

[@jenroberts112]

You did an EXCELLENT job showcasing all of the architecture and not to mention the incredible views from the gondola and tower. I feel like I've actually been there. Amazing job!!

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Thank you! There was way too much to show for a regular type vlog so I hope this helps people plan their stay in Santiago🇨🇱

08:13. That's not guacamole, the spicy Mexican dip, but mashed avocado, lightly seasoned. The completo Luke bought is an "Italian" one, after the colors of the Italian flag: green avocado, white mayo, and red tomato. Delicious. Not spicy.

Luke, thanks for showing the beautiful places and many interesting things in Chile. 👏👏

[@LukeGeeTravels]

I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it! And thank you again Lilly for supporting my channel❤️

[@lilly3182]

Enjoy your journey and exploring the world 👏👏

Another dazzling presentation, Luke! Thanks for the entertainment and education. BTW, not sure if you naturally have a big appetite or whether it's all the exercise from walking and hiking?

[@LukeGeeTravels]

More so from walking around. That day I walked around 15 miles + I wanted to show off some of the foods!

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

06:33. That's not the Central Market (Mercado Central), but the very much newer Mercado Tirso de Molina (the building is new, the market is old). Mercado Central is an one-floor iron building; they are almost front to front, across Mapocho river, Central to the South, Tirso to the North. Mercado Central is tourism oriented, it has many fine restaurants. Tirso is popular oriented, has regular groceries commerce in the ground floor, clothes in the upper floor, with simple and inexpensive eateries. From the pocket point of view, is a great place to eat. 06:46. Those darker images and narrow corridors are from yet another market, Vega Chica, located right after Tirso de Molina, to the North. Lots of places to buy meats and other goods, and plenty of eateries, more typically Chilean than Tirso.

I appreciate you sharing all the information, thank you :)

So much rich history everywhere you look!! Love the urban gardens!! Street food looked amazing and I bet the locals loved that you made an effort to learn their language.

[@LukeGeeTravels]

I always try to pick up a few phrases wherever I go, it really warms up the locals to visitors. The street food was cheap and delicious, onto the next one!

​@@LukeGeeTravelsQue bueno que no te enfermaste. En Chile está prohibido cocinar y vender comida en las calles. Los extranjeros no respetan nada e igual lo hacen

[@LukeGeeTravels]

@@elsazenteno1818 No tenía ni idea. ¿Por qué hay tantos vendedores ambulantes de comida y tantos puestos de comida? Siempre disfruto de la comida callejera local en todos los países a los que viajo.

[@elsazenteno1818]

@@LukeGeeTravels OK, pero en Chile está prohibido.

[@midnightshadow987]

Graffities are like the dog crap on the grass.

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Many of the grafitti artists in Valparaíso are commissioned by the building owners themselves to create art

[@LukeGeeTravels]

If you come to Chile, don’t forget to visit the nearby city of Valparaiso! Located just an hour away, the city is considered the Crown Jewel of the Pacific. Check out my guide here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2PNiqiefbmGkKcsi=EHB494sKiRPtjBeX

I watched all your videos, truly amazing!

[@diavoro]

Empanada de pino is from chile the other is from onother coutry think venezuela

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Thank you for letting me know! There were many vendors with different flags, I just wanted to try a little bit of everything🤤

[@elsazenteno1818]

​@@LukeGeeTravelsEn Chile está prohibido el comercio ambulante, menos cocinar en la calle, lamentablemente eso lo trajeron los peruanos y de otros paises. Los chilenos sabemos que es ilegal y además insalubre, no cumplen con las leyes de salubridad.

04:06. The grey building to the left is the Supreme Court (the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights is one of the buildings at the Plaza de la Constitución), the white building to the right is the back of the old National Congress (the new one is in Valparaiso, the old building has multiple uses now), and the white building in the back is the old facade of the newspaper El Mercurio (which headquarters are in another neighborhood, the facade is a shopping mall now). The Museum of Precolombine Art is right in front of Luke, not appearing in the frame.

Hi great looking video, can you please share what was your camera and lens used here, looks very crisp

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Thank you very much Oliver! Majority of me talking were shot on Gopro, all the B-roll was shot using my Sony camera. I've began incorporating a lot more of my sony camera in my videos for better image :)

Great video!!!😀👍🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Thank you Claudio!👊🏼

[@sickfuck]

Nice video and great shots! As a chilean I must say our country and specially our capital city have seen better days. That's why streets look so haggard and dirty, but I'm hoping we can recover from this crisis as soon as possible. I hope you had a nice stay!

[@LukeGeeTravels]

I did read about the housing price crises, I visited before in 2019 and I remember there was much less graffiti. I still think Chile is beautiful and I loved my visit and the friendly people I met!
