      Mercado Central

      In the perimeter we find the most economic premises and also stands for products to take away. In the center of the market is the most popular restaurant called "augusto" of average price. In the main entrance of the market is "el galeon", it is the most "elegant" and more private. located near the metro station "Cal y Canto", always be attentive, go during lunch hours and good command of Spanish.

      A cultural center, contemporary and alternative, with an urban vibe. Its audience is more focused on a simpler and more colaborative mode, which makes it an interesting spot to check ou if you're visiting the city.

      A cultural space in downtown Santiago, very interesting and modern. Inside GAM, you can have access to art, music concerts, theatre, dance and other options. A very comfortable space, this is a cultural centre that features contemporary art in a more sophisticated way. Inside, there is always a coffee shop; and you can find free exhibits or activities.

      is a place where you can find cheap articles, not necessarily original or from the area, you can find good products anyway. the origin is mainly of Chinese or Indian things. It is a comfortable place to go in the week and on the weekend it gets busy. if you plan to go to this place I hope to master good Spanish and always dress simple not to draw much attention.

      A very popular restaurant during lunchtime - but at the end of the day, it turns into a popular place to have our typical "terremoto", along with other known drinks they have there. A little bit touristic, but a classy and traditional spot to visit.

      Aprovecha los espacios naturales

      Recomiendo viajar a Chile en primavera, entre septiembre y noviembre, en esta época el clima se pone muy agradable, ya más templado para andar con un jersey liviano en las tardes. A diferencia de viajar en verano (entre la tercera quincena de diciembre y febrero), en primavera los precios serán más bajo y todo estará menos lleno, por estar fuera de temporada alta.

      Ahora si eres un amante de los deportes blancos, los centros de sky están en su máxima expresión entre junio y julio, que es cuando la cordillera de Los Andes se viste de blanco con mayor intensidad.

      Por otra parte si tu interés es viajar al altiplano chileno, conocer San Pedro de Atacama, te recomiendo evitar los meses de enero y febrero, cuando se presenta el fenómeno del llamado “invierno boliviano” en el altiplano, con fuertes lluvias que suelen derivar en que todas las actividades y tours se suspendan y no conozcas más que el alojamiento.
