We have been told that Valparaiso is also a must see - either a stay or day visit (your video also made it look like a great town to see). As we have only 5 days total (3 full days /2 travel days) would you recommend just a day trip to Valparaiso instead of staying there? What time does it get dark in Santiago & is the Valparaiso bus meant to be relatively safe at night? Very excited for our South American trip next year. We will also be traveling to Rio de Janeiro, Medellin, Cusco & Lima (Machu Picchu & Rainbow mountain) and La Paz before back to Santiago to fly home! A lot to pack into 4 weeks!altitude

    My boyfriend lives in Santiago (born and bred), and he says to not visit the city. Unfortunately, there are folks looking to steal, police dying, drug trafficking stuff going on, and he told me that they are racist against anyone who has darker shades of skin...

    • @nsqpneraak
      @nsqpneraak Рік тому +3

      Santiago was much safer than now a couple of years ago, unfortunately with the massive arrival of foreigners, there started to be less security and more crime. I'm not saying that everything is their fault, I'm just saying that before that massive arrival, Santiago was much safer, you could walk at night without fear of being assaulted. Although Chile is in Latin America, it is a very different country from the others, people are usually colder, calmer, even more shy, unlike the Caribbean (most of the immigrants are from there), where most have not adapted to the country, playing loud music, selling things on the street illegally, explosive increase in prostitution (derived from a 1,300% increase in human trafficking), etc. This causes a cultural shock. Chile is not a racist country, you are welcome, as long as you respect the rules of the country, which unfortunately many immigrants (by the way, many of them entered the country illegally) do not do.
      P.S. In fact, since the 90's, we had many Peruvians immigrating to Chile, there was never a problem with them, they adapted very well to the country.

    Hi. A nice video. I live in the Southeast USA. I’d like to visit Santiago, Chile. If I go, it’ll be by myself. I’m a young, white hispanic, American male. I can speak some Spanish. Should I feel safe going there alone in South America by myself on vacation for a week? Do you recommend I rent a car to get around or just rely on the hotel shuttle, Uber and taxis? I may go to Chile in either August or September. Any tips would be nice. Thanks. 👌🏻

    • @gabrielconstanzo8950
      @gabrielconstanzo8950 Рік тому

      If you are only going to Santiago then it is better to travel by subway, each ticket costs less than a dollar. Even leaving the city is easy by bus and micro, 1 hour away is El Cajon del Maipo and 2 hours away by bus is the sea. I recommend Valparaiso and Viña del Mar, they are almost sister cities although very different from each other.

    • @gringa-erin
      @gringa-erin 9 місяців тому +1

      It's perfectly safe for solo travel! Spanish will help as most people don't speak English. Definitely recommend getting a metro card, it's cheap, easy to get anywhere in the city, and one of the best public transportation systems in LATAM. When I was there in 2016, the metro card was also good for the buses. I lived there for six months and used the buses a few times, but used the metro daily. 😅 I really only used Uber and taxis getting to and from the airport or if I was too lazy to take the metro.
      The only thing you really need to be mindful of is pickpocketing. People will cram like sardines during rush hour at the metro so avoid keeping valuables in your pockets or exterior bag pockets, and keep your hands on your stuff at all times. Other than that it's completely safe.
      If you go check out the restaurant La Piojera, and the Museo de Bellas Artes. Also day trips to Valparaiso and Vina del Mar are easy from Santiago. 😊

    • @gringa-erin
      @gringa-erin 9 місяців тому

      Btw - depending on your budget I recommend trying to do two weeks instead of one. You'll probably spend at least two travel days for flying, and if you're making the trip it's worth trying to fit in the Atacama Desert (northern Chile) and the Patagonia (southern Chile).
      Since Santiago has flights to both, you could probably do the whole trip in two weeks if you hustled. 3 days in Santiago, 3-4 in the Atacama, 1 day back in Santiago, 4 in the Patagonia.

I'm sure there are ATMs in the airport too, but they might have a higher fee when you withdraw given its at the airport.

      Hey Mike! You and your wife are going to LOVE Chile, it's a terrific country! Both cities are great, and have a different feel to them. Valparaiso feels less hustle and bustle, and if you like slowly walking the streets, admiring the artwork, and sitting in a cafes, Valparaiso is perfect. Santiago probably has more museums, higher end restaurants, and specific areas to explore, but definitely feels much more like a large city. I think you probably could do half and half honestly, they both are great cities!

    CHILE THE BROTHELHOUSE OF LATIN AMERICA:
    We were a country with 17 million inhabitants and, only in 2 and 1/2 governments (presidents: Bachelet, Piñera and Boric), they have filled us with "MASSIVE IMMIGRATION AND WITHOUT BORDER CONTROL". This makes us very sad and hopeless as Chileans, since more than 2 million (Latin American) immigrants have arrived in less than a decade, radically changing our culture and customs of our traditions. It has been a cultural shock since a lot of crime has arrived (hitmen, murders, kidnappings, robberies, street food sales, a lot of noise, etc.).
    Massive migrations are promoted by the UN and the Jesuits.

I'm curious, because my most recent trips pre and post Covid have been to countries where street attacks are not a thing - Japan, Malaysia, South Korea and western Canada.
