Chile is a fantastic country, and Santiago a very nice city to live

Great Video, thank you for showing this country with impartiality. As a chilean citizen myself I agree with most thing you said. Chao.

Here is another great video from this excellent Channel. The conversation is pleasant and one feels like you are there traveling with him. This is a non-rushed, we'll informed easy going visit to Santiago. Keep up your excellent work. We will be watching.

Santiago has its problems, but honestly, I felt safer in Santiago than I did in Valparaiso and Vina del Mar. We explored the entire city on foot, and once a cyclist tried to purse snatch us, but in general, even the seedier areas of town didn't feel too unsafe, as there was a large police presence. We were just told to avoid the metro and going out at night. In Valparaiso on the other hand, if you turn into the wrong street, you can get mugged or car jacked in broad daylight. And in Vina, there were a bunch of pot smoking teens, and some junkie tried to rob us in front of the fucking cathedral. Chile has very low violent crime, but there is a lot of theft, so be cautious with your belongings.

Island, felicitaciones y bienvenido a Chile.

Bien Gracias

The Turistik bus tour is a good bargain and great way to see all the neighborhoods. Only regret was not doing it on our first day there. Next time.

You have visited the safest areas in Santiago which are the wealthies zones in the city. That's why you almost don't see homeless people on the streets like you see in the U.S. Either way, this is one of the best cities in South America and i hope you come back later and visit the South of the country. There is where you can see the real beauty of this Country: a lot of green forest, rivers and lakes, small towns with a lot of friendly people willing to help.

Yeah, I went in August and the day time wasn't so bad, as we have the same winter temperatures here, but mornings were absolutely freezing! We arrived at 6 in the morning, and the assholes wouldn't check us into our hotel, and we were absolutely freezing! Fucking CUSCO was warmer in August! I wore fucking shorts and a t shirt in Cusco!

I visited Santiago and liked it a lot. It reminded me of LA without the beach, maybe Sacto is a good comparison as well. I will say there is a vast difference in wealth that you notice when going from west Santiago to east Santiago. I could definitely live in Santiago.

Santiago is not in a desert by any means. We are just having the worse drought in the last decade.

santiago is safe, from my own experience

Santiago es a otro nivel en todo, no la pueden comparar con esa aldea atrasada. En pleno siglo 21 no conocen lo que es un metro subterraneo, los relegan de todo, por algo no llega lollapalooza, lima es huachafa, chicha.

Very good 👏👏👏👏

Great video

I notice that in winter time the grass in Santiago turns yellowish due the cold climate. Well, I think Lima Peru is is far (negatively) from Buenos Aires or Santiago, chaotic city full of sales on street, motorcycles-taxis like Calcuta, Bombay in India, insane drivers and life stile is not comparable. People inclusive look like as those poor countries of stereotype of latinamerica, most of them are small and indigenous every where. Only Miraflores district looks like a midle class of Santiago comparatively. It is, the area La Dehesa county in Santiago Chile is taken from any Califorrnian coast neighborhood. Same for Santo Maria de Manqewe, and other similar shapes.

What you think about pickup there is better than other place in latin america?

Hey there, I am visiting Lima Peru in August if it's already safe to travel by then. I am also thinking of doing a side trip to either SDC or Rio. I know Rio is not as safe as Santiago, which city between the 2 would you recommend visiting in overall aspects. Thank you!

I toured around Santiago by foot for three weeks and never felt unsafe.

Santiago is worth a couple days to visit. Los Condes, Saint Lucis, Patio Buena Vista and other places around there. Then in Valparaiso take a tour of the cerro (hill) to walk around the neighborhoods. I like Villa Del Mar, near Valparaiso for the hotels. Check out Patagonia, Chileo and the areas south if you can.

In Santiago visit Santa Lucía hill and San Cristóbal hill, Barrio Bellavista (is a tourist neighboor), near to Santiago (one or two hours), Ski Centers, El Colorado, Farellones, Portillo, Valle Nevado, etc, and in the coast zone, Valparaiso, Viña del Mar.

It is very safe nothing will happen, there are dirty places because of Bolivian, Colombian and Haitian Peruvian immigrants. The police are very hard and respectable. Watch my photos videos of Chile I love this developing land.

Yeah, there's a bunch of fucking gypsie squatters on the outskirts of town. The only time we felt unsafe in Santiago was when we accidentally wondered into an Arab neighborhood. As is the case in most major cities, the immigrant neighborhoods are always the worst! Yeah, police in Santiago aren't corrupt like elsewhere in Latin America. Despite my poor Spanish and their lack of English, they were actually very helpful when we got scammed by a tour agency.

The seasons are in reverse of North America. So June is winter in Chile while December is summer. Just saying.

Chilean people love American people. What we do not like is the foreign policy of your government, which is totally different.
