Av San Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer 5970, Vitacura, Región Metropolitana, Chile The chef uses local ingredients and blends them together to create wonderful dishes. Their exquisite craftsmanship reveals true culinary genius. So lucky to have such a dining experience.

When I arrived in Santiago, I found myself in a happy metropolis. Bellavista is full of trendy cafes and dance clubs, as well as a variety of architecture. You can enjoy sumptuous food.

The mall itself is really nice, in a good location, and decently maintained. It has a good variety of stores, and the walking areas are really nice and large, giving the mall a nice sense of space. The issues, although small, were noticeable. For example, the seating, which are large grey plastic pieces, have a thick layer of dust above them. There were also occasional little metal screws and whatnot sticking out of the floor, which definitely isn’t something that should ever happen. The bathrooms are nice, modern, and also well maintained. I did notice one major design flaw, which was the high powered air blowers (which are really great themselves) are right above a garbage can, so whenever you use them it causes garbage to come flying out. 😀 #summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

You will find English and American brands, like Gap, Warehouse, and Converse while there are also Spanish and European bands like Purification Garcia, colcci, and Rapsodia.

Fueling your urge to shop is the boulevard, where restaurants and cafes line the walls and fill the outdoor area with tables and umbrellas. Keeping you entertained are the many activities on offer. There is an ice skating rink, bowling, a cinema, and an art room, naming but a few. 🎉 #summervacation#urbanexplorer

An architectural #masterpiece in Santiago. #mustsee

This is a lovely park to walk around and take time out in. The grounds are well kept by a number of visible gardeners. There is a security guard who asks you to write your name and country of origin in a book before you enter. As a result, there is far less graffiti here than in the city, considering the protests. Lovely view at the top. There are a number of steps that need to be climbed up so you’d either need a car to take you to the top or be able to walk. #givethanks #givethanks

Go up and see a breathtaking view. 360° You can also go one more floor over and have another experience! Take your time and watch the sunset. You will enjoy the city in the day and when the lights go on. Amazing! #givethanks #givethanks

I went to Valparaiso by bus from Santiago. It takes about 2 hours to get there from the bus terminal in Santiago. You can see the vast vineyards from the bus, so we arrived in no time. There is a vegetable market in the town and it is a very lively town. There are many colorful houses and it is fun to stroll around. The view of the port from the top of the hill is also nice! #valparaiso #santiago
