Born and raised in Texas. Howdy! Growing up with the flavors of the Tex-Mex culture has greatly inspired me to travel through Latin America. So far I have traveled to Costa Rica, Mexico, and now Chile. It is through my travels that I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing worse than traveling to a foreign city and ending up in a restaurant where everyone else is carrying the same guidebook as you. In fact, many of the best places in Santiago are barely mentioned in guidebooks. I will give you the insight to the cleanest and safest city in America del Sur. Happy trails.

Gelateria Bravissimo
Chileans have a very large sweet tooth. In fact, it is hard to go more than a couple of blocks without seeing some kind of storefront selling something on the sweet side. Perhaps one of the most beloved sweet things for Chileans to enjoy is ice cream, and one of the best known names in ice cream is Gelateria Bravissimo. This is a local chain of ice cream shops found all over Santiago. Just walking by one without stopping is hard to do when you get a shot of all of the flavors of ice cream being offered up inside. Here you can get ice cream in a cup, cone, shake or sundae. But be warned, some of the sundaes and shakes are very large and even two people eating on them will have trouble getting it all down. Even though Bravissimos are known for their ice cream, they also offer up some light eating in the forms of sandwiches and salads, but something just doesn't seem right about ordering a salad at an ice cream shop. So when your sweet tooth starts to ache Bravissimo has what it takes to make it feel better.
