Street performers
by Glospi
On Santiago's downtown, mainly on Ahumada and Estado streets, there are live performers: musicians, dancers, humourists and the so-called live statues, who make a "mechanical" movement after a small tip (50 or 100 pesos should be enough). Although they began as simple, whitewashed "statues", there are several variants now, including Robocop, devils, "china dolls" and a local version of Edward Scissorhand

Underwater marvels!
by Tolacuna
There is a lot of diving in Chile and also near Santiago on diferent spots on the cost. The water is obviously colder that nin the caribean, but there is nothing that a 7mm neoprene suit can´t fix. Lots of companies offer -for the day- or weekend trips, including hotel or the BBQs etc. Personally I have seen fish banks, see wolfs (surounded by them at very close range), ship wraks, lots of flora and fauna. I have a page about everything you need to know about diving in Chile. (I think it´s the only non-comercial diving page in Chile). Check it out: www.dive.cl all gear can be rented from the local operator and is usually included in the price.

Pizza & Pasta
by IIGUANA about Piola
Piola is now a Buenos Aires' trademark. It just opened a restaurant here in Santiago with the same pizza and pasta that made the original one so famous. Italian pasta (from Italy) and wood oven baked pizzas, plus a great decoration, makes this restaurant a must when arriving to Santiago. Do make a reservation, as it can get pretty crowded. All pizzas are great. Just choose. The pasta is very tasteful (try the gnocci!!!), and don't forget the dessert: the icecream comes in a baked tulip that is great!
