Southern PatagoniaNorthern PatagoniaSantiago and Valparaiso (Including Easter Island)Antofagasta (Including San Pedro de Atacama) Local Chile Food and Drinks

One of Blueprint Travelers favorite parts of traveling is finding unique restaurants and bars that serve up delicious dishes in memorable environments. It can be challenging to decide where to go for a meal in a new country or region, and we conduct extensive research based on first hand recommendations as well as crowd sourced reviews (either online or sometimes just from a lively crowd being at a place we walk by). Many times these places serve the local cuisine popular in the country, but others it can be international food with a twist. We recommend these as some of the best restaurants in Chile that we truly enjoyed (no sponsorships here), and think you will too.

In Chile, we researched over a hundred restaurants, and had countless wonderful dining experiences over the course of the months that we visited. These lists include our absolute favorites, but feel free to reach out for further recommendations.

🚀👩‍🚀🔭🪐 The Guiana Space Center is the crown jewel 🚀👩‍🚀🔭🪐 The Guiana Space Center is the crown jewel of French Guiana (a French territory that is part of the Guyanas region in South America) and a remarkable place to visit, especially for those who are interested in space and the future of space travel.  The Guiana Space Centre is the official space center for all of Europe and is an important facility to maintain space independence by the countries of Europe. This location was chosen after France lost their territory of Algeria, where the prior space center was located. It is an ideal space center location because it is located near the ocean, away from large population centers, and in a seismic and hurricane free zone.  The most unique aspect of this space center is that you can actually take a free guided tour by bus to different facilities around the sprawling site. This tour may visit two different command centers and the location where the rockets are assembled. It is the only place in the world where you will have such access to launch pads and command centers.  You can learn more about visiting the space center and French Guiana on our website. 🔗 Link is in the bio.  #guianaspacecenter #frenchguianatravelguide #southamericatravelexpert #frenchguiana #spacecentertour

Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city and its eco Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city and its economic center, with a noticeably more international feel than the rest of the country. Maungawhau / Mt Eden (pictured) is a site of cultural significance to Māori, believed to have once been guarded by a deity living within the crater.
