Hey there my Steemit friends! In this "Real Life Captured Series" I do my best to bring you exactly that; the real life captured from destinations all around the world! After eleven years of travel experience my favorite thing to do is walk around! That's right, I simply like to go to foreign countries and walk around. I observe (and now photograph) the people, food, culture, and way of everyday life and bring it to you in this "Real Life Captured Series".

In this Santiago Chile Series we are going to get a good idea of what's doin'! Santiago is unlike any city I've ever been to. Heck, it has what's been described as a "sandwich culture". The people are a mix of different indigenous tribes and Spanish genetics.

They have there own Chilean way of speaking Spanish. They have some of the best wine in the world. They have a pretty healthy economy too. In some parts of the city we feel like were are in highly organized first world country and in other parts we feel like we are in a back alley third world slum with endless graffiti and shady characters lurking around.

Santiago is a pretty unique and diverse place. They have a huge business district hosting the tallest building in south America with 64 floors! Just a short walk from the business area you can find people selling pot brownies among many things while hanging out in front of the art museum! Now come along and let's check this place out!

This is what I love about this part of the world. A million and one small businesses of all types. Churros out of a van; why not?

This is a huge Virgin Marry Stature Perched atop San Cristobal Mountain (hill) in the middle of the city!

The view the Virgin Marry looking out on the city.

Not bad for just sticking my long arm out and clicking a photo! lol

A little panoramic shot from up there!

A couple more views of the city from way up high.

The Virgin Marry, inside of the Virgin Mary Statue!

Back to street level. This almost dry river cuts right through the city.

These type of photos are often my favorite. They really capture the real life!

With over 11 years of travel experience I answer travel and international lifestyle questions. Leave a question in the comments and I may make a Steemit post just for you!
