My FIRST TIME in SOUTH AMERICA | Ep1: Santiago 🇨🇱 CHILE
For the next 5 weeks I’m going to be traveling across South America and Antarctica starting in Chile I’ll be exploring the capital city of Santiago as well as the gorgeous Coastline on the west coast this might look like the Caribbean but it is freezing then
Later in this series I’ll be heading over to Argentina to discover its incredible waterfalls its vibrant cities and the wonders of [Music] Patagonia and finally I’ll be going on a 10day expedition to Antarctica to visit one of the world’s most remote but or inspiring
Destinations this gorgeous planet has to offer there’s a baby humpback whale circling our boat so if you want to relax and experience something a little bit different subscribe to the channel and let’s begin our adventures in South America by exploring our first destination of this trip
Chile right let’s begin we have a lot to see and experience and we only have a few short days to do it so let’s not waste any time so firstly what do I mean by we well I’m not traveling
Alone for most of this trip for most of this trip I’m going to be with Michael Michael if you don’t know he is someone who I traveled with from Bangkok all the way to puket at the end of my Thailand series he invited me to come on a Antarctica cruise with him but
It’s a long way to get to Antarctica so we built a trip around this part of the world we’re making the most out of five nights in San dieago and that’s what this video is about
Explaining and showing you some of the sights here and what we got up to and what we ate and I’ll go meet Michael in a minute and I bumped into some subscribers from Puerto Rico of all places we got chatting and they were really excited and they invited me on a day [Music]
Out yeah these three Lads were lovely and finally invited me to the coast for the day to explore and make the most out of their car rental hey we headed to a few parks and some gorgeous beaches along the Chilean Coastline and we got to see some awesome
Nature this might look like the Caribbean or Thailand but it is freezing I don’t know how these people are swimming in it it is absolutely Baltic it’s like the North Sea even though it looks like that amazing but freezing absolutely freezing we also visited the home
Of South America’s most famous and important poet Pablo nuda his home is on a beautiful spot on the coast packed with history and there’s a very fun Museum which was a great place to learn about his
Life and about how important he is to the South American people you can’t feel inside the museum but I got some snaps from outside and I really recommend it it was one of the best things I did
In my time in Chile thank you that was so much fun how was that that was great all together this day turned out fantastic and it was a great way to help shape a very positive first impression of
[Music] Chile so Carlos thank you again I had such a great day out with you my other first impressions of sand dieago have been really positive it’s a vibrant big city huge Metropolis surrounded by not just Hills but 5,000 m peaks of the Andes and I’ll show you and we’ll go look at
Some of the more of the views in a minute because one of the places that I’m really excited to go to is with Michael later he’s just taking a nap because he’s also a little bit jet [Music] lagged
Right I’m going to get down off this rock and walk about 15 minutes back to near where I’m staying going to meet up with Michael first time in Chile first time in San dieago first time in South America so excited to share it with you just a little bit flustered because
It’s the first time I’ve dusted this camera off for a while so I’ve forgotten how to talk and express myself and it’s always a little bit overwhelming especially in a brand new continent where every plant every bird every species every car and road sign is something
You’ve never seen before so you are very much wide-eyed and that true excitement that is quite rare these days for me I’ve been traveling way too much in Asia way too [Music] much later that afternoon I found Michael and we made a plan to just explore on foot
And soak up the sun the scen and our first taste of this incredible [Music] City we visited a few museums we had fun just walking amongst the locals going about their daily lives and enjoying the Summer sun and in the main Piaza we found a lovely little restaurant where we could try
One of the local Delicacies here called completos it’s basically a hot dog with some strange toppings including avocado and mayonnaise not really for me but hey we tried it and Michael and I made some plans to meet up later for sunset at a Viewpoint so
I continued exploring a little while on foot to just see what else I could find graffiti everywhere this is actually okay this is like a big murial don’t mind this one it depends if you’re a fan of graffiti then I think you’ll love San dieago but it’s everywhere
Everywhere even on the ancient old buildings and the fountains in the park everything think graffiti home to over 7 million people san dieago is obviously the capital city of Chile and walking around with Michael and on my own you can really sense the diverse population which adds
To its cultural richness and is a melting part of traditions art and delicious flavors the real fascinating place that I think is best explored on [Music] foot okie dokie so I’ve just popped into a little typical Cafe here in San dieago right next to the Museum of Visual Arts and there’s a really
Nice little sort of flea market just down here on these Cobble streets and there’s no traffic and it’s like it’s quite nice and quite quiet so I’ve ordered what is a very traditional drink here in
Chile and I’ve also ordered a local delicacy which I’ll show you in a second this is a Pisco sours Pisco is a local spirit I think it’s similar to a brand candy and they just Chuck in egg white which
Is why it’s froy and lemon and sugar shake it like hell you know the base of any sours a little bit of angera bitters on top and this is my first one even though I’ve been in uh Chile now for a while
3 days 4 days my jet lag is crazy guys I don’t even know what planet I’m on this is my first time having a Pisco sours in Chile I definitely had one before but probably not for 15 years it’s
Perfectly balanced not too sour not too sweet and then that egg white gives it that creamy texture it’s delicious right okay so the empanadas are here this is a very traditional dish here and they all come completely different in every place that you go to this one in this particular Cafe
They serve three small empanadas and typically inside you get some kind of meat normally beef uh cheese sometimes they can come with olives and sometimes there’s vegetables in there but mainly it’s just meat and cheese so it’s not very very vegan friendly and I’ve just cut into the
Smallest piece uh to see what’s in this one and yeah it’s it’s beef and cheese so let’s have a try it’s a very simple snack really and all of this Pisco sours and these empanadas $7 on the street
Empanadas will cost you just over a dollar so it’s obviously more expensive to have it here in a cafe so after my first empan and Pisco sours it was time to continue exploring and continue eating mhm oh [Music] wow what’s cool about this trip is that Michael like me loves to
Video his travels and so it was great to know that Michael was on the other side of town enjoying his exploration of San dieago as well I’m having [Music] my I think I P paid about
$4 for it buildings like this this is just one small room that I found and by late afternoon it was time to meet up once more and head up the hill near our hotel which boasts amazing
Views 360 of the city skyline and with this cute vernacular we were up there in no [Music] time [Music] [Music] yeah Michael and I absolutely loved it up here St Lucia’s Hill interestingly there’s a Time Capture that was buried here in 1990 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the discovery
Of America and they’re set to reopen it in 2090 so that future Generations can discover a snapshot of Santiago’s history and the culture from well the past Century and obviously from up here there’s a gorgeous view of the city and we got speaking to a few locals and we learned that graffiti
In this city is actually legal and in some areas encouraged which explains why I was kind of taken back by just how much graffiti was all over the city the people of this city embrace it as a form of artistic expression and showcase obviously a lot of the stunning local and international
Artists Michael what’s your first impressions of San dieago this is a very modern city what do you think about the Viewpoint up here it’s gorgeous I like what they’ve done with the flowers and the music and the vernacular to get up here very peaceful and the the artistic crosses that look
Like they’ve been commissioned by different artists you brought the good weather with you cuz the two days I was getting over my jet lag and I was just dead yeah my bag was over my bag was overweight because of that but I’m like I brought sunshine you did they don’t get rain
Here it’s a desert it’s a desert here it’s dry I need to have chap chapsticks need to put moisturizer on it’s really really dry here there’s like Cactus and stuff in the mountains I’m excited they have Starbucks here yeah we absolutely recommend coming up here gorgeous
Beautiful views and getting down you have a couple of options you can get back on the vernacular the way we came up or more interestingly you can get on the cable car which is exactly what we decided
To do okay go back on the vernacular we’ll take the cable car which is what we’re doing y oh she says sit on the other side she start Shou at you [Music] I told you these things are terrifying look at the bike path with bike monitors or something as
The evening Drew in we headed to an area called Bella Vista [Applause] [Music] look at [Music] [Applause] [Music] Mel to the place I belong yeah this is a really cool little vibrant neighborhood renowned for lively atmosphere lots of bars and restaurants artistic character and just a cool place to
Spend your evening it has lots of street art there’s also another one of Pablo neruda’s homes here in this neighborhood so you can check out that museum as well if you’re in this area and we just enjoyed the night life the food the culture and the Latin American
Vibes on the streets of this awesome little [Music] neighborhood finally on our last day here in the city Michael and I wanted to go check out the tallest tower in the city it’s called Grand Tor sanago and it is a very impressive building over 300 M or 1,000 ft in
He height it’s the tallest building in Chile and one of the tallest buildings in the entire continent okay we’ve made it up to the first level I don’t think this is the highest level I think there’s one more and this is the south facing view when you come out of
The lift Michael’s taken some pictures of some tourists and the view is is good but it’s a little bit Misty today it’s a little bit smug compared to yesterday so yesterday when we went up to the hill to see Virgin Mary the mountains were a little bit more in view
But that’s okay it was quite expensive to come up here it cost around $30 for two people there is a bar and a restaurant and it’s some sort of Cafe I think [Music] upstairs [Music] excuse me are you Patty Doyle no I’m Carl Watson you’re Carl Watson oh right I watch
All your videos like you’ve been to Borneo and Philippines that’s me you think they’d clean the windows huh would you want to be the guy that goes out and cleans [Music] Windows yeah what a beautiful experience to go up there and it was super fun to share it
With Michael and he wanted to take me to a very special [Music] place wow small car I love it welcome to borago this is one of the top 50 restaurants currently on planet Earth and a real culinary gem the first thing that we noticed was the
Ambience was elegant and unpretentious with a focus on celebrating Nature’s Bounty oh the menu was a complete Masterpiece rodulfo Guzman dedicates the entire menu to showcasing indigenous Chilean ingredients each dish was actually presented as an experience and each dish was a work of art meticulously crafted to the highest levels
The flavors the textures and the stories behind the ingredients were fascinating I’ll just show you some of the highlights get yourself down here book a table online it’s a little bit pricey but what an unbelievable incredible dining experienceas who comes the farthest away who’s from India who’s from Europe you’re
From Europe Italy Germany Germany who’s from California me he’s from California who’s from California you no 5 4 3 Patty this way two one after dinner we stumbled into a karaoke bar but don’t worry I’ll spare you the audio
Because we can’t sing but yeah what a great way to start my adventures in South America a pretty lazy jet lag field exploration of Santiago so I hope you enjoyed this Vlog there’s many more videos from South America and Antarctica to come so subscribe if you’re new

What was your impression on SudAmerica , and if this impression changed , surprised you .?
Very nice video; I enjoyed it; thank you,
Bellas imágenes de la capital adornada con la cordillera de los Andes. Se hizo un muy buen trabajo y de buen gusto.
Espero ver pronto imágenes del sur de Chile a camino hacia la Antártica.
Chile va desde el desierto de Atacama, el más árido del mundo, con las momias más antiguas, hasta la Patagonia y Tierra del Fuego y Antártica…. Sin olvidar jamás sus islas Robinson Crusoe,…..
.o Rapa Nui, también conocída como Isla de Pascua….
"Es que Santiago NO es Chile"…… Así se dice en este país.
Nice to see some different places instead of over-vlogged asia 👍
Amazing video ❤❤
I do enjoy your videos, and I find it relaxing watching them!
I never really comment on videos, but I thought it was worth mentioning something on this one. This is not a criticism, as I only learnt this not long as my wife has indigenous background and this term is taught in school.
We shouldn't use the term "Discovered the Americas". The indigenous people were already living there, so it wasn't really discovered. I won't go into details, but I am sure you understood the point.
I am commenting here, as I think it is important for people with a good audience to share this type of information.
I have been advised to use words like Encountered, Happened upon, Invaded and many others.
Keep up the good work!!!
I'm a viewer since the Budgeteers and I'm sooooooo mad I didn't meet you in my home town 🙁 But pretty happy you liked it!
11:24 On clear days you can see the ski resorts and slopes of Farellones and Valle Nevado at the top of the mountain, in the middle of those skyscrapers.
La capital de Chile es Santiago gringo perno!!
one small correction, we detest the graffiti and it's a small/vocal minority that sees it as art. it was cleaner before 2019 where it exploded and is now sort of on the mend thankfully. glad you enjoyed santiago/chile otherwise.
Great video! Just mentioned that the hill is San Cristobal, Santa Lucia hill is smaller and closer to the place were you drank pisco sour🤗
Santiago is the best city in south America, more modern and friendly with tourists, you didn't like completos sadly but also you can try lomito or churrasco the next time. Thanks for your video and work
Have you ever visited Brazil? If not, when do you plan to visit it?
Careful
Graffiti legal? not really. I mean if you want to have your property graffitied is up to you! but public space (unless the space serves that purpose) graffiti is ilegal.
En Chile hubo un estallido social tremendo … porque los políticos chilenos son muy mediocres y lamentablemente ellos siguen con sus rencillas y cada ley solo afecta al pueblo.
Santiago (not "Sandiago") 😉
correction: pisco sour is from Peru🇵🇪, not Chile

Your friend seems like a decent person, and I'm not sure if he's just hamming it up for the camera, but man does he have a lot of energy. It distracts from the content, tbh. This isn't The Michael Show. The vibe of this vid just feels different from most of your other content.
Chile is a wonderful country, a Pandora's box, where you find different surprises, from its geography, where you have the different seasons throughout the country, to the north the driest desert in the world, passing through a center of temperate climate and to the south With its rugged geography, very green, with large lakes, volcanoes, but with a very cold climate, there is also the Easter Island or "Rapanui" all this shows you how wonderful Chile is, not to mention that its people are very friendly. Thank you for visiting this beautiful country.
Muy buen video y felicitaciones por recorrer Santiago de Chile, es una hermosa ciudad.
You MUST go to Chilean Patagonia
This was interesting to watch….never been to south america before, let alone place like Santiago. Greetings everybody from Amsterdam🇳🇱🏍⚡
Really enjoy this video… Superb . I want to ask something how can I contact you?
SANTIAGO, SANTIAGO, SANTIAGO,SANTIAGO………………………………………..SANTIAGO.
Happy to see you spent good and lovely moments in my country.
Es hermoso Chile, lastima que la sociedad y sistema que tenemos por ahí nomas, Saludos!
what a beautiful country I will visit it soon hug
I love Santiago. It's is such an underated city. Thank you for sharing this video
Mischt! El roto.
Congratulations, you really did an amazing video of Santiago.
The patagonia is chilean but not argentina !
In 2019, before to the social unrest, buildings, statues, walls were very clean. . After… everything change…
Chile 🇨🇱 is the best country in Latin America 👍👍👍👍
Interesante que conozcas Chile pero conocer Santiago no te entrega la experiencia de conocer Chile ya que por su extension tiene geografias y climas variados… necesitas tiempo para recorrer Chile porque como dijo alguien por ahi "Santiago no es Chile"
No Michael
Pregunta, tu eres latino??, porque cuando nombras algunas cosas o lugares , no tienes acento gringo o británico, entonces porque los videos los haces en inglés?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
