316 | BARRIO YUNGAY - Local markets in Santiago!! (Chile Travel VLOG)

27 October 2019 - Day 66 - Barrio Yungay

VLOG 316

Today we head out to explore the suburbs of Santiago to Barrio Yungay and Barrio Brasil!! Feels like forever since I’ve had a day to explore the sights other than protests and tear gas so I’m super pumped!! 🤟🏽📸

We are joined by our amiga @boredbtw for our day out, making it 3 weeks since we last saw each other!! Time surely flies! We head to the neighbourhood of Barrio Yungay and Brasil which lie just in front of Parque Quinta Normal and reminds me of Valparaiso (but super safe) due to its bohemian life feel and the old historic architectural buildings 🖼🎨. This area has everything from street art, markets, parks and cafes which makes it an upcoming major tourist distraction for Santiago. ☕️🌳

I’m not into art but political art does intrigue me. We passed one particular artwork which I liked and portrayed key msgs from the protest and recent events involving the First Lady. Earlier last week a conversation was leaked where she compared the protests to an alien invasion, and that all her privileges were going to be taken away. 👽👽

Protests don’t stop this coming week as now there are specific agendas for each day of protest. Monday: Health, Tuesday: Tax, Wednesday: Pension, Thursday: Tolls, Friday: Education, Saturday: Renuncia Piñera. Looks like we have our week packed out so I better get ready with my protest survival kit! This week is also week 4 of my Spanish classes, couple that with protests, it’s definitely shaping up to be one hectic week here in Santiago!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
