It is the center of Chile's largest and most densely populated conurbation, the Santiago Metropolitan Region, whose total population is 7 million. The city is entirely located in the country's central valley. Most of the city lies between 500 m (1,640 ft) and 650 m (2,133 ft) above mean sea level.

is she Thai women ?
Funny, most of the people you spoke or appeared in this video are NOT acctually Chileans you even mentioned (my Chilean friends, they are not even look Chileans). Most of them are inmigrants.
Want to eat chilean food is best in chilian restaurang
My partner and I are heading to Chile and Argentina this December into January. Honestly cannot wait! Your video had got em so excited.
We done Peru and Cuba this past February into March.
I'm married to a Chilean and we use to live in Santiago. I got 'warned' about my camera all the time, but in all the years I've been going or living there, nobody has ever bothered me or tried to rip me off in any way. I think using common sense with safety in any metropolitan area is necessary anywhere in the world. I always feel safe and relaxed in Chile.
This is very very very true
however in Chile is extremely common to get robbed at the metro, everyone knows that. It's good you guys were being cautious.
@@santiaguin6 Yep, the metro is plagued with pickpocketers
Hey btw as Chilean, Uber is not illegal. Idk who told you that, but that is not true. The thing that’s illegal is in Ubers in the airport. That’s because that place is for the taxis.
Also subway is NOT affordable. People don’t make that much money and you have to use it everyday so it adds up.
one time I get to the Virgin walking and was like two or three hours, its a amazing experience even in summer. also, im so happy that even in rought times you two find my country beautiful, i hope after all this happen you can comeback and visit other plaes too. all my good vibes for you guys!
What part of Chile are you from?
Brilliant, loved it. Great reporting.
Thank you so much!
Wow did you both make it down the hill in the dark? the people want to know!! Plus did you make it back to your apartment with your cameras? Stay tuned for the next exciting adventure. Same divert living time, same divert living channel. Dah Dah Dummm. Jim and Tah, it was a very cool video with amazing views of the buildings and really everything. Glad you both had such a good trip to Chile.
Yes we made it :) Thank you so much! Cant wait to share more with you!
@@DivertLiving 🌟 Had to add some humor from all this doom and gloom being posted on every social networking, it's hard to escape it. Thanks Jim and Tah for understanding 😁
Nice videos guys, your really down to earth :D
Thank you so much 😊
great content, u guys r lovely
A wonderful insight into Chile from you guys. Overhead shots were impressive too. Did you take a drone or something? I enjoyed your broadcast - well done!
Hey did I heard that you two are from Newburgh? I work at St Luke’s and Vassar hospital. Live extremely close and have 100% Chilean blood. I would love to meet you two for lunch sometime. Maybe at Shadows on the Hudson. Been traveling the world a lot lately and would like to exchange information
oh no, I lived near Lastarria and it was beautiful, it is ugly, dirty, how sad, I hope they renew that sector soon. never eat in the street there are ilegal. thank you anyway for you visit i hope enjoy all experience.
Always have wanted to go to Chile 😃
Its worth it!
Dude, i live in that building jajaja, it sucks
Why are you guys travelling for there is an epidemic going on
I think they were here a month ago.
@@franciscofuentes8916 true that is possible
Francisco is right 😊
santiago no es Chile
que???
Hola, mi nombre es Lahcen. Les pido asilo humanitario en su país porque soy muy pobre y mis padres están muertos, y no tengo familia, ni padres, ni casa, ni comida, ni bebida, ni refugio, ni lugar adonde ir, y actualmente vivo en la calle y duermo en la calle desde hace 20 años. Te pido que me ayudes a residir en tu país. por favor, ayúdame
Santiago de Chile is incredibly rich in its cultural history, yet you’ve managed to avoid all of it. Sad you’ve wasted your time and ours.
We now chilling in Chile👣👣👣we love art especially culinary arts 🤣
hahahhahah trueeeee
Love the look of Santiago and chile. Always a country I wanted to visit as hear great things . Lovely video and thanks , stay safe and with what’s happens in the world I feel like I know you both more now with your return home 👍🇬🇧 stay safe
Thank you so much! Its really an incredible place you should visit if you get the chance
I lived in Santiago for 3 years and never needed air conditioning. The weather is like the San Francisco Bay Area but the seasons are reversed. There's about three chilly and rainy months of winter and the rest of the year is really nice. You guys happened to arrive during a heat wave.
The protests are over pensions and minimum wages and things like that. You hear a lot about how great the economy is but the money all goes to the top. I worked with rich Chileans at a multinational firm when I was there and they do have a bit of a "let them eat cake" type of attitude for the most part. I hired a maid to come and clean my apartment and do laundry one day a week. They guy recommending her said "only pay her 8 dollars a day. No more". I paid her twice that and even then I felt totally cheap.
There's a really delicious type of salsa there called "pebre". It's too late to recommend it I guess so I hope you tried some. Hope you guys went to Persa Bio Bio (a big flea market). That's a great place to get a taste of the less fancy side of Santiago. Lots of really nice people there in Chile, I miss it.
David Que lindo lo que escribiste sobre Chile. Espero que puedas regresar algún día. Saludos 🇨🇱😊
Yea we thought we would need it but we didnt :)
@@Pilar.1402 Gracias, fue una experiencia inolvidable. Era le epoca antes de Facebook y perdi contacto con muchos amigos alla, lamentablemente. Disculpe la falta de accentos...mi teclado... ;)
The south cone is so cozy, specially chile, you should try visit valparaíso or the rural parts on the south of the country if you have the chance, love from lima.
We will be back for sure!
Yes you say right its cozy places. I already visit these places 2 year before . especially puyehue and its surrounding areas very beautiful for relaxation.
@@DivertLiving youe have to visit "torres del paine" is literally one of the most beatiful places in the world but is kinda expensive
Chi chi chi le le le!🎶
VIVA CHILEEE
I remember you mentioned the camera advice in a Colombian video too. I'm Chilean and I feel safe inside the metro but people just wanna make sure you're aware you're carrying a valuable and that it might attract unwanted attention especially outside in a crowded street.
This is very true
Seemed like you guys had a good time.. very romantic sundown, lovely ❤️✨
We did have an amazing time :)
I love Santiago, you guys missed all the street food around the corner from where you were shooting. It reminded me to the scene in Reforma in Mexico DF, by the castle in Chapultepec. On top of being a city that mixes old and new, latin with western all the time, you get the Andes and it's magnificence in your backyard. I hope Chile recovers soon from the social and economic crisis. Be strong amigos!
Aww we searched for so long and really couldn't find much for street food
Great to see you guys in Chile. I hope you enjoyed, you picked a tumultuous time to visit 😊 I haven't visited for 11 years. Got a ticket for July we'll see how it pans out. Stay safe.
Aww we arent there anymore. We went a couple months ago
Santiago has really interesting and beautiful places, like Santa Lucía hill años San Cristobal hill (the metropolitan park) on my first time I thought how people could get there by walking, but in the next years became very com to my jogging to te top. It’s full of museums like the natural sciences on Quinta Normal, the costanera center a complex with South America’s tallest building (300 m). An hour trip could get you in to Aviña Del Mar and Valparaiso (the 5th region of Chile) with beautiful places that make you fall in love. To the north on the third region (about 6 hours from Viña Del Mar ) is located the Elqui’s valley, the biggest wine producer region and the worlds most clear skies (together with Atacama’s region on the country’s northern region). By the south on the 8th region you could find the Lakes region with Valdivia, and Osorno, and down to Punta Arenas you could find the worlds most austral lands. A fun fact, that place (the Chilean part of the Patagonia) is only the midpoint of the Chilean territory, the rest is located over the antártica. Hope you’ll enjoyed your time at that beautiful place
We loved it here!
The filming and effort you both put in is amazing. During this lock down situation it's immensely satisfying to see positivity in our lives. I've saved your videos to watch for times of my positivity that I need during these times. It's wonderful to have you guys in our lives. Stay safe, Stay strong💪
Thank you so much! Hope you are well and safe!
Very beautiful city santiago ,osorno , Puyehue, Putro Montt. Very beautiful places and culture. I really like it
Such an amazing place! We loved it!
Chile doesn't have street food, just junk chilean food in some places or corners. Restaurants in Santiago and North are mostly bad, you should avoid popular places to eat or streets, you'll get very bad experiences from that. Mall's are a good alternative. Sadly typical chilean food is cooked in half of chilean homes and is difficult to find well prepared. So to eat well you'll have to expend more money in good restaurants in Santiago. In the south is better. Just dedicate to look for well recommended places or simply cook your own food, sorry about that. 😞😞😞😞
Santiago looks gorgeous. I can't wait to travel again.
Me too
We were in Santiago last year, at Plaza de Aramas. 2 blocks west is a whole long of food vendors.
Wow so interesting! We couldnt find it!
wow everybody walking round without caring seems so long ago
It was about 2 months ago
@@DivertLiving yes i realise that
Actually in Chile we have to modify the time in our clocks today to gain one hour.
Thats so cool!
About the camera thing, we do have maaaany pickpocketers, but is pretty weird to be violently mugged at daytime in the middle of the street, even if you have an expensive camera showing
Thanks for all the info , I was suppose to go there on summer, but now i will be visiting Chile on spring 2021, if everything goes well..thanks and happy New Year..the best for you two!!!
I love Santiago and the locals are amazing and super helpful. I got told a few times to be careful as I accidentally pulled out money of an evening to pay for something. However, I never felt unsafe
Same! We never felt unsafe either!
There's no way your going to be paying $7 for a room in Santiago. Prices are very comparable in North America in terms of accomodations.🤦🤦🤦
Santiago, Chile is quite an interesting place. We've never been there. Also, the view from your apartment is awesome. Enjoy and stay safe you guys.
Another of your beautiful video, you have learned the art of editing and add little drama in your videos and that looks wonderful. Although none of your videos are drama but it always felt like a beautiful docudrama.
Thank you so much! You are here with us since the very beginning and we are super glad to have your feedback like this :)
Algeria 🇩🇿 always stands with Chile 🇨🇱 United and amicable
Algeria = Alegria (happyness)
I studied abroad in Santiago. This video makes me miss it sooo much! I want to go back soon.
I love your video of Chile👍🏼🌎.
Guys are you going to visit Bolivia in the future?
Definitely ! Hope everything get back to normal soon, stay safe :)
I didn’t know the days in other countries were shorter or longer depending on the time of the year until I moved to the U.S. I’m from Ecuador 🇪🇨
21:29 that tree is called "Araucaria"
I just saw a few images about Chili but wow, this country impressed me, People seems so "bon vivant" as we say in french (good living people). I hope one day i will go there 🇨🇱
Its a really amazing place!
Thank you im from chile im looking forward to going there my mom used to live there and shes from there
You guys are crazy walking down that mountain at night time. Mexico has their own Daylight Savings Time (different than the US) but the state of Quintana Roo where I live (Cozumel) does not.
Ahhh thats so interesting! We were with a lot of people at some points so it wasnt bad
In Spain it gets dark at around 10 pm in the summer.
That’s intense, hope you are safe there in Spain 🇪🇸
I visited Spain a few years back. I live in Los Angeles. I hope you two are staying safe in NY.
I'm Chilean and the part about the camera is very true. You must be cautious walking around downtown. Las condes is safer but downtown they will rip the strap and run
Thank you so much!
First time I find your channel. I loved how you brought out the culture and amazing videography of faces expressions and of the city with your close up camera work. You guys make magic around you with the simple things love it!
Thank you so much ❤️ Hope you stick with us for the rest of our journey!
Jimmy what was your MOS brotha? thanks for serving stay safe. 11b all day! Enjoying your videos!
Thanks man, Thank you as well! I was a 14E
Are the borders open to u.s citizens right now?? Please answer. Somebody. And what do i have to do
Very nice scenery there. Here in Canada the time changes too and wish they would just leave it as it is now. At least your walk is all downhill. That would be a brutal walk if it was all up hill haha. Stay safe guys
hahahha yea it would suck if it was uphill!
Miss my old Santiago maybe next te amo Chile
We miss it as well!
El Arbol del final es La Araaucaria Chilena... es de los arboles mas longevos del mundo.. Saludos lindo video
I’m so glad you still have traveling videos to post so it’s different than all the ones of traveler stuck in rooms for the virus!!
It's not their fault tho
Yea we always keep a back log for unknown situations :)
Afif Asyrof Jazimin I understand its not their fault but great to see something else I haven’t seen before while I’m stuck at home.
I love the way you guys travel so free and peaceful. That’s why I travel alone, it’s the experience 🌻
I hope you can get back to Thailand someday,those were your best videos.Vietnam was 2nd best and Bali,you travel the most of any young couple I have ever watched.
Thank you so much! You don't like our South America Content?
WAT Uber isn't illegal bro
Honestly, downtown Santiago is safe it’s just so unfortunate and deeply saddening what vandals and criminals have done...
We were warned a lot by locals, but still feel super safe there :)
@@DivertLiving I'm glad you did! God willing this situation ends and we can all return to normal life lol
Divert Living It’s just our culture. We always overestimate the negative things about our countries, it’s just how we are. Of course you can get robbed, the same way you can get robbed in NY or LA, but 99% of the times nothing will happen to you. Santiago is actually one of, if not the safest metropoly in the Americas.
Wowww its amazing
Truly 🥰
Compound?? Survivalists? Hahaha. I am stuck in Manila. Might as well stay till June, but those 3 countries look awesome. Stay safe. What a difference in weather Chile Vs NY state!. That’s a nice unit in Santiago??
Hahahah sorry military habits die hard
Yay! So excited for the rest of your Chile content 😁
Me too
Thank you 🙏
Nostalgia tremenda de Santiago antes del covid. Es como ver una película de otro tiempo.
I don't know if it is only a hunch, but you look bored in Chille, compared with your video about Bazil this one looks empty.
Glad to hear u guys are staying safe. Take care and I love your vids and u guys!
Thank you so much! Hope you are safe!
Hi Tah and Jimmy! How are you guys holding up? I really enjoy watching ur videos. I love how u guys try pretty much all types of foods! U guys should do a video updating what's going on over there.
Lots of love from ur friends in Canada
9:31 Agree with Jimmy. Tah you're still young, you are not 90 yet :)
HAhahaha right!?
Look like you all are having fun in New York! Be safe. Our prayers are with you guys. Looking forward to seeing more travel adventures with you two.
Thank you! We are having the best time we can :) Hope you are staying safe!
I like how you guys just end the vid HAHAH
Hahaha at least you like it 😂🤣
Same!
Thank you for sharing the beauty of the different places around the world. Stay safe to both.
Thank you for watching :)
Im a native english speaker and your gf needs english lessons, she is not fluent and difficult to understand
soy kurdo y amo a tu país y me encantaría haber sido chileno.
Saludos a los hermanos kurdos! Buena gente!

Stay safe my Army brother and Tah too.
Thanks SFC
I LOVE the way you put this together - really well done!
Take care in the US. Thanks as always for the great video and God Bless.
Thank you so much!
Interracial couple? Very disappointing
2:18 UBER is not illegal in Chile
Skip talk about Santiago Chile dude

Thank you so much!
7 days in Chile?! That´s a lot :)
Think so?
KE lindo el video, saludos desde quillota, chile
Howdy guys. I bumped into your videos by coincidence and I sure am glad I did. I've been following your videos ever since. I've never been to South America except for Bolivia. Please don't get me wrong but something was missing in Santiago, I don't know what. Vibe? Energy? Magnetism? Don't know. I live in Mexico, right in North America. I've read somewhere that Mexico even though Mexico is also considered as a Latin American country and for that reason, it should be similar to those other Latin American brothers countries, the reality it is not. Mexico has been sort of an isolated island within Latin America. I found that text interesting. Unfortunately, Mexico rarely sees down south of the border. Mexico is way too busy embracing its 121 million people and on a fast track to grow and to be developed. A never-stopping nation reassuring its identy and patriotism that we are so immersed in our own changes and idiosyncrasy that we have drifted away from the rest of Latin American countries. Not that we do it on purpose but subconsciously we make the gap even wider.
NAFTA is pretty much responsible for this losing bonds with other Latin American countries. We make up together with the USA and Canada a strong commerce trading team strengthening ourselves therefore it makes us believe we have taken off long time ago leaving Latin America a bit far away. When are you coming back to Mexico you guys? You gotta visit Central Mexico, places like Guanajuato, Guadalajara, San Miguel de Allende and many other mind-blowing places. A big hug for y'all.
@18.09 Jimmy tries to be affectionate ....
Tah quickly puts a stop to it and then feigns a pose to try to cover up her move .
These are red flags that tell you she didn't have feelings for you Jim .
You provided her with 1/2 priced accommodations and experience running a TH-cam channel.
I was used like this before Jimmy , so i can see all the signs that she was only using you.
Look, I travel all over the world ,,, and you have no experience, I know the United States and are also more dangerous than in some sectors of Chile ,,, and the poor in the United States is poorer than in Chile, unfortunately the people in Chile does not know the economic system that exists in the United States, which is one of the worst in ameria or the American continent ,,,,,, Chile is one of the safest countries in America, safer than the United States% of crime ... but I will bring a camera so it is to draw attention ,,, in New York they would also steal your camera I think it is irresponsible and stupid and you give a bad signal about my country .... also in Chile there are protests because we have a democracy where it People have the right to express themselves, not like in other countries in America that are afraid to open their mouths like in the United States or like the rest of America ,,,, being the strongest political parties on the right, this is seen in all the Americas. ..I would like to say it alone Mind that the United States is one of the most underdeveloped countries in America ,,, I am not talking about wealth, which are two very different but important factors .... Costa Rica Chile Paraguai Uruguay Canada are better countries than the United States, unfortunately I cannot talk about the states that exist in the United States ,,,, but all over the world there are different geographic religious political groups etc of course we are not European we are American countries where criminality racism discrimination and where the abuse of power of social classes are a daily problem ,,,, do not forget that the doctrine ,, culture and dogma is the same throughout the American continent ,,,,,,, much more is missing ,,,,,,,,, etc
is she Thai women ?
Guys you didn't know about the Lift they have in Cerro San Cristobal? super cheap and nice view passing by the Zoo and goes all the way up, better than taking Uber.

Why Uber is illegal ?
HI.. Do i need to pay every month or just one time to subscribed for SoarFare? Thanks for your help..
Its like netflix so its a payment evey month towards your tickets
@@DivertLiving Thanks .. i see divert25 .. You are the one...
Videos like yours, the effort of traveling to this beautiful country, does not make us realize the pñais that we have built, today it is in danger, I hope that in Chile we maintain our sanity, change the things that are wrong and maintain those that are good. .
Stay safe & well 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you! You as well!
are you still in rochester? how is the lady liking NY?
I like it here
5:09 they eat “Tajin” in Chile? Had no idea lol I thought it was only eaten in Mexico and USA by Mexicans
Just wanted to let you guys know and for the rest of people visiting Chile that Uber is not illegal in Chile 🇨🇱 it’s just like in the states where ubers have their own pick ups at the airport 😀
No, uber is illegal in Chile, the current law requires a special registration for the cars and a profesional drivers licence. Uber drivers can get hefty fines and their car impounded for working as pirate taxi drivers.
@lucas They are charging for transporting passengers, therefore they are recognized as pirate taxi drivers. There's legislation on the way to allow private drivers with apropriate professional licence, registration and insurance to work as app based drivers, but is not regulated yet. It's not fair for traditional taxies nor safe for passengers not requiring a professional driver licence for the same job.
The tree at the end is an Araucaria, native of Chile, an endangered and protected species. Nice vid, hope you enjoyed your trip here.
love to see my fellow specialist out here winning. we have a long tradition that goes back as far as Radar.
Where are you guys right now?
