One of my biggest interest, when I’m traveling, is food.

Yeah, I’m a total and 100% foodie and I mostly travel to try new flavors and why not, to learn how to cook new dishes.

 

Chile is becoming one of the top destinations for tourism in South America.

With a developing culture and a wide variety of landscapes, in Chile, you can be in a big city as Santiago and in one hour be in the higher lands of the Andes or enjoying the Pacific Ocean in Valparaíso.

Chile is one of the longest countries on Earth and related to this, you will experience changes in the climate and ecosystem as you move around the country.

The geographic layout of the country allows us to have a huge variety of landscapes and products. For example, you can be in a big city like Santiago and in an hour be in the highlands of the Cordillera de Los Andes or enjoy the Pacific Ocean in Valparaiso.

Landscapes, as well as cultural expressions, change according to the distance of the Ecuadorian line, and with this, food is also changing throughout the country.

 

Chile’s changes in culinary offer

Chile is changing, and with this change is also changing the culinary offer restaurants and very dedicated people are doing to keep the traditions but also to adapt to new flavors and innovating around people’s favorite topic: FOOD.

The culinary offer in Santiago and Valparaíso is including national products but also very good quality international and fusion restaurants. Thanks to this, Santiago was declared one of the best cities to be visited by foodies in 2016 by The World’s 50 Best Restaurants.
