@@JonGrossGringo I think you didn't have much time in Puerto Rico, which is a shame. I have to educate you as a Puerto Rican that I am and an American citizen just like you. First, Puerto Rico is not an island, it is an archipelago which includes many islands, cays and islets together. Two Puerto Rico does not have a mountain since Puerto Rico has hills, mountains, savannas, Tunas, etc. LA COORDILLERA CENTRAL range of Puerto Rico is a group of mountains that crosses the island. Where its highest peak is Cerro Punta where you can see San Juan, the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic. Three Puerto Rico if you plant apples and grapes, the farm is called Nebai fruit garden in San Sebastian, 45 minutes from the capital. Which I invite you to visit and you would be surprised. Did you know that Puerto Rico has 600 waterfalls and 800 rivers more than 10 feet high. Puerto Rico has 3 of the 5 bioluminescent bays in the world. It also has a beach with black volcanic sands. I have to correct you because banana is not the same as plantain although they are families. I invite you again to learn more about your archipelago, our archipelago, and take care of it as if you were born there. welcome 🤗 🇵🇷 And of course Bacardi is not Puerto Rican, it is Cuban. Puerto Rican rum is Ron Don Q. and barilito and palo viejo rum.
It does not matter how many paradises are in the planet, but I was born here in PR, and I hope to die here. My respect to my brothers in Chile. Latinos siempre!!!
Very cool video Jon, thank you! As a patriotic Chilean, I would say I prefer Chile in so many ways! however, I would love to have a vacation in Puerto Rico. I couldn't live there because I'm not good in tropical weather. Didn't know we have 900 beaches in Chile! amazing. I loved seeing Moses with a mischievous smile, eating a sandwich in what seems to be a marraqueta 😊 I Love piscos mixes, but also love rum's, what versatile alcohols! Happy to see you wearing the red! your ❤ is still in Chile, you are a chileno like your adorable son😊
As a PR living in the west part of the island but with extensive travel to Chile( Portillo, Santiago, Chillan, Pucon, Valdivia, frutillas , Puerto Varas, Puerto Montt y Chiloe) plus other small towns. Had 2 properties in Pucon but sold them! Is a tie for me! Love the south of Chile, and the Chilean slang ( Al tiro, weon, etc) love to go back sooner than later
I love how you express to Chile in each video, I hope one day you'll return to our Country with your familiy and enjoy the best places here! Congrats Jon, glad to see you again around here in youtube!
There are flights from San Juan to several destinations in South and Central America like Colombia, Panama, and Mexico that are direct. Also, the mountains(not just one) may not be as high as the mountains in South America (the Andes are some of the highest in the world ) but they are beautiful in their own right. There are many rivers, waterfalls, and caves throughout the island(the Camuy Caverns are the third largest in the world. And there are more than just pineapples and bananas, which btw, you can get locally grown ones at the roadside stands and supermarkets.
I’m Chilean and my husband is Puerto Rican and he loves completos and empanadas. And our boys are proud ChileRicans 🇨🇱❤️🇵🇷 and I love pasteles and arroz con gandules 😋
Jajajaj es porque no conociste otras playas chilenas, en la Serena te bañas lo más bien aguas tibias en valparaiso igual desde temprano hay gente bañandoce
I lived in Chile and Puerto Rico, also in Ecuador. Medicine is better in Chile and of those 3, Chile es more European. The problem with Chile is the communist government, when the government changes, I will go back to Chile.
So do you call avocado aguacate o palta? If I had to choose between the two countries, I would probably pick chili just because of it size and variety of topography and climate. Puerto Rico is nice due to its proximity to the US. Santiago on the other hand is like flying to the US from Europe. You haven’t mentioned anything about the political turmoil in Ecuador. Are you still feeling safe there?
It’s always palta 🤣 in Chile and Argentina they got that word right but everywhere else is so wrong 🤣🤣🤣 Ecuador is kind of a disaster right now. I wish I was in Chile 😢
Chile is beautiful! Thanks for making the video. But I heard you were a couple of days in Puerto Rico? And You have been in Chile for 7 years? You're seen nothing of Puerto Rico... first... its a caribean island.... compare to Hawaii or other islands. Not Chile. Oh and Puerto Rico is on top in gastronomy... If you want to it Good stuff, go to Puerto Rico. I recomend. Im sure Chile its pretty good too. Bendiciones a CHILE.
@@jaimeramos1584 I have no doubt Chile is an amazing place, but so is PR, and not only beaches and amazing sights, but an incredible history as well, but to each it’s own.
I understand your fondness for Chile; I've been there myself several times, visited Puerto Rico as well, and I adore Ecuador. Each of these countries has its own charm, natural beauty, and tourist attractions. However, it must be admitted that the beaches of the Chilean Pacific are very cold; they can't be compared with those of the Caribbean. When it comes to mountains and biodiversity, Ecuador takes the lead. I lament the fact that Chile exploits foreign tourism in the wrong way; everything is expensive. Visiting Torres del Paine is costly, and staying in a hotel in Frutillar costs as much as in the USA. On the other hand, Ecuador is a country that makes tourism very accessible, both for locals and foreigners. Puerto Rico lacks a proper transportation system for tourists to visit the main tourist attractions, which forces us to rent a car. Greetings from Canada.
Jajajjsjs cuanta envidia, se nota que no conoces ni el 5 porsiento de chile, en chile las aguas de las playas son tibias te puedes bañar lo más bien, siempre hay gente bañandoce, que ustedes no soporten el frío es otra cosa 😂 y chile tiene 100 veces más montañas que ecuador hijito, vea el mapa o aprenda de geografía
Jajajjsjs how much envy, it shows that you don't even know 5 percent of Chile, in Chile the waters on the beaches are warm, you can bathe perfectly, there are always people 
There are always people bathing, the fact that you can't stand the cold is something else 😂 and Chile has 100 times more mountains than Ecuador, son, look at the map or learn about geography
@@pameoliva8393 no es caro, conosco más de 5 regiones del país y e viajado mucho por chile y no soy millonario jajaj hay que saber ahorrar y ocupar bien el dinero al viajar 👍

If you can drive from San Juan to San Sebastian in 45 minutes, then that means you're going about 120. It usually takes about 1hr 45 minutes going normal speed.
Thank you for your comment! I hope to come back soon and really do PR justice. With limited time, I need to go back and really experience so much more. Great comment and I'm totally with you, I need more time there!!!
Regarding the flights to and from Puerto Rico, is that true? I always assumed that since PR is one of the more tropical getaways in the world, I assumed direct international flights to and from PR would be easy without resorting to connecting flights
De vacaciones me encantaría ir a puerto rico por las playas y sus aguas más cálidas. Pero en chile somos muy privilegiados , tenemos de todo desierto playas montañas muchos ríos, muchos Lagos, muchos volcanes muchas mucha Islas y la Patagonia que es hermosa. Etcétera y muchísimo más. Te queremos y te extrañamos en chile. Saludos te deseo éxito y bendiciones ❤❤❤
What about the differences in the Spanish spoken in both places? I have heard that the Spanish spoken in Chile is even difficult for native Spanish speakers from other countries. The Spanish in Puerto Rico has some peculiarities as well.
Why choosing? Why not both places? Every place has its own enchantments. Chile is gorgeous and Puerto Rico is exciting. Is just a different kind of beauty and, nothing more. Enjoy the cultures and their peoples, no country is better than the other...
Mis mejores deseos para ti y tu familia, espero algún día puedas vivir plenamente en Chile 🇨🇱 vi tu historia de por qué te fuiste pero déjame decirte eres más chileno que los mismos chilenos por eso espero se te de la oportunidad de establecerte aquí y nos sorprendas con tu talento entusiasmo y carisma. Saludos desde el norte de Chile 🇨🇱
i've always thought of chile as being a baking culture, and i'd wager argentina is similar. you bake bread, empanadas, pastel de choclo (pizzas in Arg.), etc. my theory is that since it's a cooler country historically lacking reliable heating devices (you've seen the different space heaters but yet it's always cold in winter) the oven would help to heat the house. in tropical countries, where it's always hot. the last thing you want to do is turni on the oven when you're already sweaty enough cooking, so frying is quicker and heats up your living space less. this might just be BS, it's just my theory as a chilean-american from michigan. saludos!
I agree!!! Chileans and Argentinians bake really well! And they do barbecues really well too!!! 😂 can’t wait to go back soon! Thanks so much for your great comments!
Siiii como los dos son conocidos por las playas (playas diferentes pero playas…) y empanadas (diferentes pero empanadas) y los dos hablan español. Hay más pero este es en general!
No they don't, I was there last summer, I'm from new York and they don't have any similarities with Chile at all. They are a Caribbean COUNTRY Chile isn't, the weather, the food, the people , etc , everything it's different l., they have similarities with Colombia, Ecuador, Peru but with Chile no.
1st of all Chile is not an island for an island is land surrounded by water on all sides. And Puerto Rico's terrain is very mountainous, it has many mountains, is not just a hill/mountain. The one most famous one is El Yunque. Puerto Rico for being a small island it a high variety of eco systems..We have dry/desert and rain forests, 3 bioluminest bays 5 are in found in the world and the majority and most bright are located in Puerto Rico. Off course cannot mention all the things, but in a lot of ways you are comparing apples with oranges as I see it. BTW, Puerto Rico also has black sand.
En chile Si hay loros amigoo y muchos, incluso andan por las ciudades por lo menos donde yo vivo se ven muchos loros Tricahue 👍🦜buen video broo, saludos desde chile🇨🇱
Cada país tiene su propia cultura y encanto Puerto Rico debe ser maravilloso...pero Chile te atrapa con sus montañas, lagos, rios, fiordos y su frio o estaciones tan marcadas...Puerto Rico es un país tropical...Chile es un país sureño...pero creo que los une la amabilidad de sus personas...😊 un abrazo grande 🌬🍃🍂❄🌦💕🇨🇱
Im very sorry but Chile and Puerto Rico don’t have anything in common.!! The weather is different culturally and geographically.! I don’t see any similarities.!!!
Sorry Jon.!!! Maybe I’m a chauvinistic Chilean.!! Jajajaja 😀 We have demarcated weather patterns with four seasons. We have forest, deserts, lakes and mountains.! Culturally tremendously less loud.!! Sorry.!!😂🥰
GDP domestic of PR 37,000 GdP domestic of chile is 15300 HDI of PR is 8.80 HDI of Chile is 8.60 Capital according to report done by MERCE San Juan is 90 with the best Quality of live, Chile is 106 after Panama City Unemployment Rate in chile is 9.05 Unemployment in Puerto Rico is 5.8 PR internet using Cell lines is Faster than Chile and more overage Those are facts
Muchos chilenos vacacionan en Puerto Rico todos los años y les gusta las playas Por qué el agua es caliente no frígida como el Pacífico tenemos Huracanes pero también en Chile pasan los fenómenos meteorológicos por las costas
Puerto Rico has a line of mountain in the center from west to east and is wide. Don't compare. Each place has wonderfull place. Stop your despective comments. We have thermal waters, volcanic sands and more than usable 200 beaches. In PR we drink wine. You are talking so bad and many lies. We have over 100 native unknown fruits. Stop it.
Love Wisconsin is a very beautiful and cold weather & windy . And I like that too. Anyway. No matter where u go with your family I will support you and enjoy it all your videos
JON muchas gracias por mostrar parte de la bellezas de Chile. Si amas tanto mi pais chile, me puedes esplicar porqué te fuistes. Si nos dieras esos detalles , seria fantástico.
Wena tambien Chile se parece a USA. y entramos sin Visa a EEUU. y el unico que tienen acuerdos con la Union Europea-Chile en Latam. Mirad el "Parque nacional Las Palmas de Cocalán" si no es el tropico en chile que es? 😄
Wow haven't see you personally from long time in in You Tube like used to be ... Of Course you made so many Great Videos in Chile & Argentina which you cover the whole country, and you definitely was the Best of the Best reporting cities and town in Chile none one made Wonderful Videos like you in Chile.I must say honestly. Everybody enjoy your Videos so much..😊👌🤗😍❤❤❤ As you know people in Chile liked all your videos.. I'm hopping your Beautiful wife and son are just fine and healthy. I'm hopping you enjoy the life and Ecuador by now .. Sorry on regard Puerto Rico versus Chile I think both countries are Beautiful in different ways of Geography and the people.. Sincerely wishing really the best to you and your lovely family, Take care, Ivan. 👌🤗
Iván, what a kind message. Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me and to encourage me to keep making videos. I hope to return to Chile soon but for now I get to know other places around the world which will be really fun! I can’t wait to keep exploring (in fact I’m on a plane right now!) have a great week and thanks again for your comment!
OK I’m not gonna even finish the video. I’m gonna see the video but I’m not gonna said before commenting Puerto Ricans. The Puerto Rican island is not the same as chile because we leave Enna tropical police we Puerto Rico live in the tropical place in the and the other country what is Christmas or December there is a lot of snow and it’s cold as shit Issa cold Leavin hell but in Puerto Rico there’s a freaking hit of shit there’s a freaking heat there’s nothingcold I Puerto Rico everything is hot
Unfortunately, I have to say, those are not countries whose citizens have to flee to the north and Puerto Rico, risking their lives with all their independence and sovereignty, indicating that they are countries when they are not. So Puerto Rico is a country.
Chile and Puerto Rico are different. Puerto Rico es Tropical, Chile is not. the food is different, the race is different. Puertoricans are mainly of african descent and habits. Chile not. The way Puertoricans speak different. they are very Caribean. Bad comparison.
Los chilenos decimos que Chile es el mejor país, al escuchar Puerto Rico recuerdo el desarme del famoso telescopio, los huracanes, terremotos HAARP, me parece una isla semi abandonada por EE.UU. su gente no lo pasa muy bien.
Entonces no conoce PR, solo ha visto noticias negativas. No digo que lo que ha mencionado de cosas que han pasado no tengan algo de realidad histórica pero su mala impresión dista MUCHO de como viva la población de PR y sobretodo lo que experimente un turista que vaya de visita a PR. Por cierto, he visitado Chile el an̈o pasado y me encantó el país. Pero como puertorriqueño no cambio a mi patria por ningún otro país. Saludos!
He visto videos de Puerto Rico y parecido a simple vista nada, yo creo que es un imaginario forzado para poder relacionar a Chile de alguna manera. Adiós
Jon ¡ NO hay comparación entre Chile ,un pais muy largo con diversos climas y territorios diversos a una Islita con solo playas y nada mas como Puerto Rico Claro en todo el mundo hay diferencias ,y algunos son mas favorecidos que otros . CHILE LO TIENE TODO .Y tiene uno de los Territorios mas diversos y apasionantes del Mundo como ha sido reconocido 1 dic 2023 - Chile fue galardonado como el Mejor Destino Verde del Mundo en la trigésima edición de los World Travel Awards, conocidos internacionalmente ....Saludos Jon y vuelve pronto
Mijo toma un viaje para PR y educate. PR es un archipelago con islas bien unicas. Puedes encuentrar arrecifes, hermosas playas con arena blanca y suave con aguas cristalinas (playa flamenco en la isla de Culebra siempre esta entre las mejores del mundo) o playas con arena negra volcánica y formaciones de rocas que forman piscinas naturales en las costas, zonas montañosas donde las temperaturas pueden bajar hasta los 40F-50F (considerado bien frio para el Caribe), valles, mogotes, cuevas y cavernas subterráneas gigantescas (teniendo el 3r sistema de cavernas subterráneas mas grandes del mundo); 3 de las pocas bahías bioluminiscentes del todo el planeta (siendo la bahía en la isla de Vieques las mas brillante del mundo), sumideros gigantes, rios, lagos, cascadas, manglares, zonas áridas/deserticas, bosques secos y bosques tropicales. Y esto es sin hablar de los animales, las ciudades y la cultura. Chile es otro pais maravilloso con sus propias bellezas naturales y humanas y estoy loco por visitar. Pero conozca antes de hablar mierda y respete los rangos que PR, siendo mas pequeño, tiene tanta diversidad que no necesitamos mirar pal lado. Eso si, es posible que estemos un poco celosos de que ustedes reciben nieve 😂 y aun tienen glaciares pero aun sin eso somos felices. Saludos!
@@nestorritter9810 exacto, no hay razón por la cual comparar ya que los dos sitios tienen geografía totalmente diferente y unica. Viaja mijo para que no luzcas como un ignorante 😉
@@jp1431 ajajajaj conozco casi toda América .Pero si exagere pero no lo van a comparar con la gran geografía de Chile una minúscula Islita .También exageran .Saludos
