Hey there my Steemit Friends! In this Travel Pro Series we focus on significant monuments, structures, buildings, and general architecture of a given area. Everywhere in the world is different from the way people look and speak, to the food they eat, to customs, traditions, all the way down the buildings they live in. My favorite thing to do is simply walk around and take in the environment of each place I visit. So this series gives you an idea of what that may be like and how influential these structures really are.

So here we are in Santiago, the capital of Chile and the first thing comes to mind is that I decided to start this series after I left Chile! I forgot to get an actual photograph of the Sky Costenera building. 64 stories high and it's the biggest building in South America. However I did a whole Travel Pro Places of Interest video on this place so you can see it in that post.

Now I did get a bunch of interesting photos of buildings and structures from Santiago. After coming down from Peru I was really impressed with the architecture. It was much more....ummmm "grand" for lack of a better word. But then again I suppose it should be.

Chile is a solid second world country with an average income per person of about 10,000 a year, where Peru is about 7,000 USD per a year. That's at least according to this website online. However I've been told by my Airbnb host that's it's more like 25,000 a year, and I believe that number may be more accurate after spending weeks there.

As I write this I'm learning that it's hard to trust info anywhere you get it. However now having visited both countries, and experiencing the streets, structures, architecture and more; one thing is for sure Chile has a way better economy than most countries in Latin America. It also has some great history too which is reflected in the monuments and architecture. Now C'mon! Let's have a look around!

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!
