We are so excited to be in Santiago 🇨🇱! Get ready for lots of videos guys! 😀 Don’t forget to hit the 'thumbs up' button if you enjoyed the video and hit SUBSCRIBE ✅ (and that little bell 🔔) to follow along on our travels. Stay Delightful!✌️- Anna & Trevor
We've been to quite a few cathedrals around the world so we were okay to skip this one. It felt weird enough wearing shorts in the actual city let alone a church. Everyone wears pants! 😃 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers i understand your politness😀. This cathedral its not just a religious building, its a cultural site for everyone to watch, they even got something like a museum inside (we are not that religious). I been in lots of cathedrals too, dont know why, but this one is very impresive inside, maeby the strong religious felling of the people of the past, that donate money to recontruct it after an earthquake. Anyway nice video....gonna watch more of these. Thanxs. 😅
@@joaquin.suarez that you're not religious person doesn't mean you can be irrespectful with those who are religious. The church is as you may know a National ,monument and belongs to all chileans, but first of all it's a religious place and for that reason everyone who want to visit it should respect it as so. I think people have lost the sense of what to wear or how to conduct inside of a church, so I value the reason these canadians gave to skip walking in to the temple.(Although I think they erroneously didn't expect to much to see...;)))
Wonderful video! I loved the video! I'm a total Santiago lover hahaha! Last vacations I met two amazing german friends in Punta Arenas, and then showed them "La capital" with my boyfriend. When we were at Plaza the Armas one of them didn't want to enter because her clothes. I was very impressed because i never imagined the problem, but after she explained me that it could be irrespectful. Otherwise I told her that latinamerican culture is very different with that kind of thing, I mean, you can totally go anywere anyway. What do you think guys? Reggaeton and Religion start with R you know
@@CristianRiscoGutierrez well, that's kind ignorant , don't you think? I mean if a person from other country decide to be "respectful" even though he/she may not be religious himself, and not enter a Church, it shows to me the great difference between a civilized tourist wandering around and those who in doing the same don't care about the culture or tradiitons of the locals. Now, it may be true that latinoamericans in general are very relax about religion but still there are people who have a different opinions and views of it. So it's better to be safe than sorry..;)
Santiago has mountains all arround so pollutions is stuck there most of the time. The goverment constantly tries to keep it low but with no rains is pretty much impossible. wait for the views after it rains... it's 100000000% better btw welcome to Chile!
I was in Santiago a month ago. The city has many nice buildings, many parks and murals. I was shocked by the number of immigrants and homeless people living in parks, but I did not feel any danger. In addition, there was a lot of garbage in other parts of Chile is much cleaner. I recommend Punta Arenas and Patagonia. I fell in love with the south part of Chile and I want to go back there.
Patagonia is on our list but I don't think we'll get there on this trip Szymon. Santiago is so beautiful and we also feel no danger at all. Thanks for watching as always 😃 - Anna
@@barrapa, I am talking about the scale of homelessness and the gap between the rich and the poor. Yes, in every big city you can see homeless people and immigrants, but I had no idea about the scale of this phenomenon in Chile. My country has a similar GDP as Chile, but there is no such gap between the poor and the rich and food prices in Chile are incomparably bigger. From all EU countries, my country accepts the most immigrants from outside the EU. The prices of food are twice as high as in my country and everyone has to eat. You can eat cheaper in Germany and even in Japan. If you don't have studies then you have no chance of a good life in Chile.
You are either exaggerating or you went to a really bad area, you make it sound like the whole city is full of homeless people and that no one can afford food?
Come in Autumn or spring, if you can make it to September (Chile's national holidays) then you'll see it at its best. Summer can be waaaaaaaaay too hot and winter has the risk of being too smoggy and you won't see a thing in Sky Costanera or San Cristóbal. Also, go to Bellavista BUT - DO - NOT go to Patio Bellavista. Biggest tourist trap in the whole city. Go to any bar or pub nearby. They're the same, 100x better and 1000x cheaper :D Source: Living in Santiago for almost a decade now.
@@TED-BUNDY- hey dude currently stuck in Chile until march due to covid with my girlfriend. If you fancy a pint or ( schop ) at some point let me know fella. ben_osullivans on Insta. Stay safe.
In winter i always see the enormous mountain whenever i come back from school. It looks clear as day because of the rains and instead of a dry, brown mountain it fills up with snow. Its a really beatiful and calming view to see when im tired from school!
That was great. Another escape. I would like to hike up or down the trail of the cable car. It looked really nice and clear. Beautiful country side. Love the mountain's and forest. Perfect music. So relaxing. More please. :-) Thanks.
So nice exploring this city with you guys! It seems really interesting to visit. Beautiful vid and GREAT editing guys! I really appreciated it. Waiting for new videos! Thumbs up. Ciao!! Renata
We always love when people notice the edits. Thx for that as this video took a looooong time to edit. There's lots more on the way Renata. Get ready! 😃 - Trevor
I did a solo trip at just 18 a couple years ago to Santiago. I'll never forget it, and I still cannot stop craving that food! The favourite things I tried were Sopaipillas con pebre, Terremotos, and Pastel de Choclo.
Hey guys, great video! For the people scrolling down the comment section, I truly recommend visiting Santiago. I'm a brazilian who visited it once and then came back to live in the city. It's so easy to fall in love with it! Come, you won't regret :)
Priscilla thanks for watching. So many people that we've met in South America say the same thing. They say it almost feels like Europe to them. I get that for sure - Trevor
Hey Guys Chile is so much fun. Go to Torres del Paine, San Pedro de Atacama, Viña del Mar, Valparaíso. Puerto Varas, Puerto Montt, Isla de Pascua( or Eastern Island). Iquique. Villarica and Pucón. Punta Arenas. Chiloé( a beatiful really big island). Frutillar.
It's incredible so far! I'm just about to do a trip to the Atacama desert while I have a break from school. Looking forward to keeping up to date on your experiences down here too! :)
Nice video! I spent half a year in Santiago for an exchange semester and I can tell you that you were pretty lucky with the view. Santiago often has severe pollution issues. It is a beautiful city though!!
Youre welcone and hope u had a nice stay, greetings from Santiago. If youre still here dont miss viña del mar and Valparaíso the Center coast of chile, just an hour and half from stgo. Both Beautiful places to visit
Thanks Phito! We're not entirely sure of our plans yet as we're on a big journey around the continent. We may just stay in Santiago... it's pretty great - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Great then!, anyway, i keep my sugestion, Santiago is really near of Viña and valparaiso, those cities are extremely different but beautiful on their own way, with the pacific ocean looking them. Theire like bro cities connected. Since you are here, don't miss the chance, you wont regret ;)
It might be hard to give an oplnion when you live in the most beautiful countryl of the world as Canadá is. Thank you god for all the good and nice adjectives about my city. Kisses.
Coming from a long time viewer this means so much 🤗 We'll keep trying to find destinations Taki. We got quite a few things in store that should be extra enticing coming up. - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers well I keep coming back for good reasons!! you guys put out great content, good info and you use quality equipment which makes the viewing experience that much better! :)
I love Santiago Chile my wife is from there and I have been there twice there's just so much to do there you can't do it all in one trip Chile is the most beautiful country in the world
Wonderful video. I can suggest you some nice spots or things to do in the city. Starting with the change of guard at La Moneda presidential Palace. It should be today at 10:00. Subway station "La Moneda". You will be able to watch some of our prussian military traditions. We are the last country with full prussian tradition in this matter.
I’m very happy to see this video, I ‘ m from santiago , I lived almost all my life there and I loved seeing it through the eyes of those who visit it for the first time. Great Job !
I am a flight attendant and been flying in and out of Santiago a fair bit. I have now decided to put Santi as my first bid in order to spend more time there and learn more about the country and practice my Spanish. I absolutely love the city and the people. Highly recommend.
Great video guys, I lived in Santiago for 16 years and it’s truly amazing. If you want to expand exploring Chile, my recommendations are down south, specially Puerto Varas, Puerto Montt, Chiloé, Valdivia and Punta Arenas. Viña del Mar and Valparaiso are worth a little visit as well.
Thank you for showing that Chile as a beautiful place to visit! but omg you definitely should've traveled to the south, for instance Puerto Varas, Frutillar, Pucon... but either way was a nice trip! Cheers from Chile ❤️
My next Latin American trip has to include Chile. My ex was Brazilian, have been there 10 times, but only made it out of Brazil once to Buenos Aires (and Punta Del Este) which I loved and want to go back to. I remember in one of your videos you mentioned that the area you were touring reminded you of Mile End, and as a Montrealer I was very impressed as few tourists would know that area. Ever since then I've been following you guys!
You know that every time you said something in Spanish such as “Plaza de Armas” or “ Parque Bicentenario” you thought your pronunciation of the words were wrong... well it was not. You said it right, no issues and spot on. Your Castilian pronunciations are very good stop doubting yourself, you are doing very well girl. Greetings from Kitchener, ON.
I also used to avoid the Hop On/Hop Off buses, but I have changed my mind too. If you're someplace for a very short visit, it's a great fast overview of a place. If you're there longer, it can give you some great ideas of what you might want to explore further on your own.
Yay! It's nice to revisit Santiago. I lived in Las Condes. I was an English teacher. I love the Andes Mountains, but the pollution in Santiago was not none I've ever experienced. But it's a nice place to live and visit.
You should see the view of Santiago at Costanera Center a day after rain! The Andes Mountain is full of snow, it’s very beautiful. Greetings from Santiago 💗
the beautiful part of Santiago with all those buildings and green areas is where rich people live. Poor people neighbourhoods are scary, it's sad but true
Guys, the night view from SkyCostanera is just amazing. If you ever get a chance to come back, try to go again around 8-10pm. It's amazing. Just make sure it's not raining, because that'll get you soaking and freezing. Grest video, by the way.
It's supposed to be built to handle earthquakes but so do every other building in the country.. You should Google some photos of the buildings after the 2010's big earthquake, that furthers the case that it was indeed a stupid idea
Que onda esa bandera 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱esta es la que vale por siempre y ninguna otra .murieron miles de compatriotas para poder ser una nacion y ahora vienen ustedes a ondear banderitas alternativas....nicagando wn
Look nice in the park you both like the foods you don,t like spices food fresh healthy foods very good to go travelled do it when you young people around the world thank you
@@DelightfulTravellers Do you use Final Cut? I've been thinking of kickstarting a Channel I have all the camera gear, just didn't know if I wanted to deal with the hassles of editing videos. Any advice?
@@jaymeez We do use Final Cut yes 👍 Editing takes loooooong. Probably 4-5 hours per video and that's not including going to film it or plan it. If you're already thinking of it as a hassle it's probably not for you. If you think of it as a challenge to create something you'll be proud of then it is for you. I'll be curious to know if you do it or not 😃 - Trevor
Correction: tallest building in LATIN America, which includes Caribbean and Mexico, South America is from panama to the bottom, kudos on you great trip and video.
I'am from Chile... Here we will treat them like at home, so be comfortable and as we say, "have a pig time" (pásenla chancho), which is like "enjoy the trip".🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱❄❄❄💕
En todo caso, 'pass it on, pig' es como si le estuvieras diciendo chancho a ellos, y pidiéndole que te pasaran algo. Por las lineas de 'ya po, cerdo. pasame eso'.
I am leaving for Santiago Chile TOMORROW...yayyyy. So naturally I am checking out vlogs of people who have been there before. Subscribed! Dig your edits and storytelling :-D I plan to vlog my experience as well.
Hello super videos behind those mountains will create a national park 3 times bigger than Santiago de Chile, it will be like being in Patagonia but in the metropolitan region behind the ski areas in the mountain ranges
I visited this country 3 years ago it beautiful I like the plaza armas and San cristopal park and if you go to beach it also beautiful I had good memories in Chile one of the best countries in Latin America
Trivia fact: when the big Earthquake hit a few years ago, it happened a few weeks before the building was to be open. And NOT 1 Window got broken. Yes, we have amazing architects.
thnks you so much for your amazing video. I am writing an essay about Santago and your video was a great help to me. I appreciate it. You guys are awesome and sooo lovely.
Chile is not for the young at heart -- but healthy hearts of the older kind. If you are healthy and retired [do not need doctor care every month] --- Chile [especially their smaller towns, not Santiago at all -- are easy to live the grand life till the end]; many cities are just perfect for any retired American! Try not to move much money here [buy property 3 or four years later -- just rent and life] -- and be very careful with it [your funds in house or on person] -- these people will do anything to get at your retired or banking information [so keep your mouth shut]. I suggest holding your funds in America [better] -- and via a cash transfer send a months cash at a time for a few years through AFEX [cash exchange center national]! I have been here since 1990 -- never got a job -- got robbed but not hurt 8 or 9 times -- but love Chile [i have my burial site ready -- i am 73 years of age]. Chile is California weather all years round. The fifth region is the best and is easy to do all you wish to do in life of Chile, Viva Chile! Signed, dbp
@@vampylolita Hi, you probably get marked, and a group is robbing you repeatedly. I was robbed maybe 12 times in 25 years; of late -- no robbing me -- for i watch out for them and i never lead them to my house. Whatever you do in Chile, you need to watch -- who is following you on the street -- get a bike is the police's advice; most robbers are just wondering on foot on the city streets. Their reasoning is i must eat, and the state is at fault, so i go get what i can and then-some! If you have been marked -- you need to move out of that communa, and start over somewhere else -- and watch -- who the watchers are on the street! Sincerely, darrell
Darrell Parrish HI!! Yeah I understand what are you talking. I hope my country gets better from this bad things. But unfortunately this is getting worse, the police doesn't have a way to stop it. Maybe it's time to be more aggressive against them. Soldiers to help policeman at nights. Have a great day!!! Greetings Yasna
@@vampylolita hi, again. Hi, I do not think it is possible to fix. The new problems are huge and dwarfing the “older petty thief” problems with the city police. They are now catching the foreigners [without permission to enter past 60 days]; and sending them to hospitals for checkups, for many do have the “old-world diseases, gonorrhea, syphilis and other STD's - that no one has ever heard of! Ebola is now in Text, in three places; 5000 are quarantined. Chile does not have the resources, as USA! Yet, you have 500,000 visiting foreign invaders [never to leave] - wishing for a social handout! Chile has 60 percent poor citizens - it has nothing to give to foreigner - especially intruders, yet most of the public hospitals are full of foreign babies -- no space for real Chileans! Sincerely, dbp
Nice video, the tall mountains in the background are the Andes. The other ones that you showed are just hills. The South of Chile is probably a lot more impressive. If you want to see the city and the Andes (right up close) they have rides on gliders in Vitacura too, not far from the first park that you filmed from.
@@DelightfulTravellers you should try a trip across the Andes by nice buses to Mendoza, Argentina. Mendoza should still be relatively cheap and very nice.
You should visit the Centro de Eski Colorado in winter near Santiago, there you will enjoy skiing, snowboarding and drinking a cup'o'chocolate watching the white mountains of La Cordillera de los Andes and even a clear sight of El Cerro El Plomo, the mightiest and tallest mountain of Santiago.
Hey, amigos! Cómo están? You guys rock big time. Can’t wait to see how you enjoy the food...did you noticed the spanish architecture as in Puerto Rico? 🇵🇷
Ricky we did notice the architecture yes. It's quite different than Old San Juan. Less colour basically but it's still beautiful in it's own way - Anna
