Description

The Real Chile Is Experienced on the Street

The Marine Awakening: Our adventure begins among the iron aisles of the capital’s most iconic market. We’ll savor the freshness of the Chilean sea with a ceviche or mariscal—the perfect start to awaken the palate with the treasures of the Pacific

The Secret to the Perfect Dough: Just a few steps away, the aroma will guide us to a culinary gem. We’ll try a pine nut or cheese empanada at a spot that has stood the test of time. You’ll discover why this snack is at the heart of any Chilean celebration, with a recipe that has remained unchanged for generations

A Toast at the Cathedral of Bohemia: We’ll step into a legendary tavern, famous for being the epicenter of “guachaca” culture. We’ll experience the ritual of the Terremoto or Chichón—sweet, potent shots that represent the joy and resilient spirit of the Chilean people

The Grand Finale: We’ll wrap up at the historic arcades. We’ll sample the king of Chilean fast food: the “completo italiano.” You’ll learn why the balance of avocado, tomato, and mayonnaise is a way of life for Santiago residents
