Maps of Santiago, Chile | Directions | How to Get to Addresses

Street Maps of Santiago, Chile
When you are looking for directions in Santiago, Chile it is hard to find the right website. While you can buy maps in libraries around the city, it is hard to find places by address only. Recently I came across Mapcity.cl which is similar to such search engines as mapquest in South America. It has precise directions to get you to where you need to go. Traveling to locations throughout Santiago,CL can be confusing, to find directions to where you need to go this is a great service. It has helped me find places among the crazy traffic of downtown Santiago. If you need to see where your hotel is located, find a good restaurant, or meet a business associate, then look no further. Once again chileloco is here to help you learn more about life in Santiago, Chile.

Juggling in Santiago

Aspire to be a professional juggler? Then go work the stoplights of downtown Santiago, Chile where you'll be competing for cambio (change) with dancers, street performers, bums, window washers, and people trying to sell bottles of water, candy, or fruits and vegetables. The juggling is my favorite, although its pretty convienient to buy a kilo of oranges or palta (avocado) as you're stopped at the semaforo (traffic light).
This guy works in el centro, day in day out, juggling for a living and he has some skills. One day there were 3 jugglers all at the same crosswalk doing coordinated stunts.

Aspira a ser un malabarista profesional? Entonces ve a trabajar en los semáforos de Santiago, Chile donde estarás compitiendo por cambio (monedas) con bailarinas, artistas callejeros, vagabundos, limpia parabrisas, y gente tratando de vender botellas de agua, dulces, frutas y vegetales. El malabarismo es mi favorito, aunque también es muy conveniente comprar un kilo de palta o naranjas mientras paras en el semáforo.

Este tipo trabaja en el centro, todos los días, haciendo malabares para sobrevivir, y tiene bastante vocación. Un día habían 3 malabaristas en la misma intersección haciendo trucos coordinados. 

Michelle Bachelet and Alien Graffiti

Michelle Bachelet is the female president of Chile. Apparently the sign maker doesn't approve of her political decisions. This is right as you enter downtown Santiago into the central district. There is some interesting Alien graffiti spray-painted below. I went to Spanish language class a few blocks from here at the Instituto Chileno Suizo de Idiomas y Cultura and received a certificate of Penguino for my duration of 60 hours.

Michelle Bachelet es la mujer Presidenta de Chile. Aparentemente el poster tiene que ver con desaprobación a sus decisiones políticas. Esto esta justo cuando entras el centro de Santiago. Hay un interesante graffiti de aliens justo debajo. Yo iba a clases de español a pocas cuadras de ahi, en el Instituto Chileno Suizo de idiomas y cultura y recibí un certificado de Pingüino por haber realizado el curso por 60 horas.

Skateboarding Santiago

Chispa pulls a crazy 30 second manual on his skateboard in downtown Santiago,Chile with a cool graffiti background.

Snowboard Webisode #18: Sebastian Camus - Pro Snowboard de Chile

Sebastian Camus is a pro snowboarder from Chile. This part chronicles his International travels with us through Chile and Argentina. He's one of the funniest and funnest guys I know. He's founder of Herba clothing and splits his year between Chile and Davos, Suiza (Switzerland). Once you know Camus you never forget him and he's one of those guys who is always down for an adventure and some snowboarding.
The shots of the girls was at Valle Nevado's famous swimming pool, and supposedly one of them was a Miss Chile candidate, but we have no facts to back this one up, so believe what you want.

Sebastian Camus, Pen Camus, en un snowboarder profesional de Chile. Esta parte sigue sus viajes internacionales con nosotros a traves de Chile y Argentina. Es una de las personas mas divertidas y entretenidas que conocemos. Es el fundador de Herba Clothing y divide su año entre Chile y Davos, Suiza. Una vez que conoces a Pen nunca lo olvidaras. Es una persona que esta siempre dispuesta a seguir una aventura y un poco de snowboard.

El video con las chicas es de la famosa piscina de Valle Nevado, y supuestamente una de ellas fue candidata a Miss Chile, pero no tenemos pruebas para respaldar esto, por lo que cree lo que quieras. El otro pobrecito en la piscina es Manuel Diaz, pro-snowboarder de Chile también. Pobre los cabros siempre sufriendo. 

Santiago Graffiti 2

More Santiago graffiti to feast your eyes upon.

Santiago Graffiti

Today I shot photos of Graffiti around el centro Santiago,Chile. There seems to be a lot of this type of spraypaint art around, some describing political aspirations and goals, band logos, cool artwork/tags, and concert or dj events and parties. Some pieces even have the date and time of this event right on the tag covertly.
Hoy tome fotos de graffiti en el centro de Santiago, Chile. Parece haber muchos de estos tipos de arte spraypaint, algunos describiendo aspiraciones y metas políticas, logos de bandas, cool artwork/tags, y publicidad de  DJ events, fiestas y conciertos. Algunas piezas incluso tienen el lugar y fechas del evento abiertamente en el graffiti.

Photo #1 Is it Busta Rhymes?????

Photo #2 No more smog in Santiago. Interestingly enough, the can that sprayed this tag probably contributed to the smog itself.

No mas smog en Santiago. Interesantemente, el tarro de spray que pinto este tag tambien contribuyo al smog.

Life in Chile for a Gringo

First of all I'm a gringo living in Santiago, Chile. I am married to a Chilena (Chilean women are hot). I am also a professional snowboarder and filmmaker. I first came to Chile on a snowboarding trip to South America three years ago and am currently here for my 4th time. Its been rough learning Spanish, since I didn't have great motivation to learn before I decided to visit. But I am currently taking Spanish classes in el centro(downtown) and will attempt to add a bit of spanish to help you learn as I progress in my knowledge, speaking skills, and vocabulary. A main goal of this blog will be to relate the experience of what life is like in Chile, and some obsevations from a foregner's point of view. Since I am a professional filmaker in action sports, I will add numerous videos and photos to give rich detail of what life here is truly like.

*Added Bonus: This won't be boring like 99% of blogs out there. There's always something new to see in Chile.

Primero que nada, soy un gringo viviendo en Santiago de Chile. Estoy casado con una chilena (las mujeres chilenas estan muy lindas). Hago snowboard de forma profesional y filmo peliculas de deportes de accion. Vine por primera vez a Chile un invierno hace tres años y esta ya es mi cuarta vez en Chile. Es difícil aprender español, especialmente porque no tenia gran conocimiento y motivación antes de venir a Sudamérica. Actualmente estoy tomando clases de español en Santiago centro. El principal motivo de este blog es describir mis experiencias de vida en chile, y como soy  un videografo de deportes extremos profesional agregare muchas fotos y vídeos para mostrar todo mejor.
