distance

i thought it was a corn pie  it's more like a corn casserole  

it looks beautiful and it tastes even better wow  

good morning good morning guys from surprisingly  sunny puerto natales patagonia chile sunny but  

wendy puerto natales here we are it was supposed  to rain it's been saying it was going to rain on  

our first day for four days in a row now and the  sun decides to come out patagonian weather my  

friends you gotta love it oh it's surprising yeah  so yeah it's our first day here in the city so  

we're going to go check it out yeah we go  exploring first of all we need a little brekkie  

fast indeed we sure do need some breakfast and  then yeah more like a brunch isn't it then we're  

going to walk along the the waterfront area here  it's absolutely beautiful also we're gonna try to  

get some information about tours in the city yeah  we're gonna see if we can organize some excursions  

for the next few days exactly and then um and then  we're just gonna wander around and see what we see  

who's the friendly pop a friendly

so well good morning we finally found a place for  breakfast this spot is called coffee maker here  

oh they're tons of coffee gracias  

perfect timing you got your cappuccino so this  spot is called coffee maker and we're turning our  

meal into a bit of a brunch because it's already  10 30. yeah so i got myself the carrot cake  

with a nice icing over top sam has his favorite  alfajor de maizena yeah but i've never had one  

in chile never one in chile this one's pretty  big we have two cappuccinos and there's also a  

smoked salmon sandwich so this day those are even  the life here yeah desserts before savory and i  

have to say my first alpha [ __ ] here in chile  it's made with cornstarch and filled with lichen  

some shredded coconut what a combination guys and  you got a pretty cool wall happening behind you

it's getting windy out here and a  little bit rainy off in the distance  

but we are now taking you for a post breakfast  walk along the waterfront a windy walk  

um because they have lots of cool like  monuments and sculptures and town signs

and you're going to meet my spirit animal oh and  by the way the price of breakfast that came to 22.  

everything was delicious what  a great way to start the day

how many so that giant creature we  introduced you guys to it's called  

the mylodon it's a prehistoric creature that was  found in a nearby cave here so we're gonna try  

and visit that while we're in puerto  natales chile it's not too far from the city  

and yeah it's said to be related to the sloth and  the ant eater and it looks really cool i think in  

a way it's kind of like the town mascot because  if you look at the street signs like the names of  

the streets they all have a little picture of the  milot and standing there so that's kind of cool

what a morning slasher back we're back what a  morning slash early afternoon yes i love this  

place i'm just gonna just declare my love for this  place yeah i think we would like it as soon as  

we drove in it has a nice vibe to it love being  out on the water i love all the colorful houses  

and just so many friendly dogs and cats in this  town it's really like this this town's almost  

like custom tailored for our our needs good food  friendly animals um beautiful views i love that  

the uh that the giant sloth represents the town  yeah we just had an incredible walk along the  

waterfront um it was fascinating how the weather  changed about seven times it kept like there was  

rain a little bit of sprinkle of rain then we  couldn't see the mountains off in the distance  

then those clouds pass it and we had like gorgeous  sunlit views beautiful swans just floating around  

lots of people exercising great first impression  of the town and we should talk about the tours  

we arranged yeah so very eventful morning in  terms of getting organized for the next few days  

so tomorrow we're going to be doing a full day  tour of torres del paine by bus yeah and it's  

all about seeing the highlights along the way the  classic because we don't really have like a week  

to go into the park and just hike independently  and honestly i'm not sure we're fit enough to  

take on such a challenge so we're doing the  highlights a lot of people a lot of travelers who  

come here do what's called the o and the w circuit  and that can take like uh up to two weeks to do  

both of those but we have very limited time and  also the thing that we should mention too is we  

don't have there's no day where there's optimal  weather we're basically just having to go in  

tomorrow and then we're doing that tour  and the next day we're doing basically  

an independent hike it may be a little a  little boat ride both days mixed weather  

so we we're just crossing our fingers  that uh we get a few good views  

here and there but the whole we're not going  to get sunshine the whole trip that's not sure  

no but i mean we're going to head out there with  our umbrellas yeah we'll make the best of it yeah  

but anyways we organized everything and now we're  just back we're going to take a little bit of a  

rest and i think we'll go for a little walk in  the evening and dinner so it sounds really good

cheers to dinner when there's still a lot  of sunlight here in patagonia it feels so  

weird we walked out of our airbnb and it looks  like it's three in the afternoon and it's 7 p.m  

and the sun is so high up this is delicious  by the way i a raspberry juice very natural  

yet sweet so good then i got wine i'll let you  i'll tell you about that in a second well i can  

already tell you the chilean wine is great it's  the carbonara varietal it's not something that you  

find very much in north america i really like  it it's smooth but strong if that makes sense  

it reminds me a lot of some of the wines we tried  when we were traveling the balkans a couple years  

ago and we've got chilean food coming soon yes  we've got salmon ceviche and you ordered um  

yeah very typical dishes from chile and um can't  wait to try them all right the mains have arrived  

i just finished choking at the table guys causing  a little scene here you did my oh my that was hot  

i thought it was a corn pie it's more like  a corn casserole it's got meat at the bottom  

it's served in this like cast iron pot actually  i thought it was going to be a casserole to be  

honest when you ordered it yeah oh yeah i thought  it was going to be like a shepherd's pie with corn  

that i tried in peru once but this is obviously  a chilean dish chilean version so it's different  

it's got meat at the bottom that's kind of like  cooking like no korean style yeah when you get  

your stone pot and like it starts to like sizzle  and stick and char kind of like that it also  

had a hard-boiled egg and the corn reminds me a  bit of like polenta in terms of the consistency  

it's a nice big portion too huh it's great  because mine is the ceviche is is a bit smaller  

yeah but it looks amazing i can't wait it's very  sweet is it yeah this is going to be very fine  

ceviche time guys so salmon ceviche with big  chunks of avocado and onions yum i'm actually  

going to put some on the bread that they provided  here have a little bite lots of vitae is delicious  

you know what nice ceviche is one of my my  favorite foods or cuisine in the whole world  

if i was like confined to only have 10 different  dishes the rest of my life this would be one of  

them i thought you were going to save one dish  but no pop that oh come on i couldn't pick one  

but this is right up there i just love it  it's so i love the acidity of it i love the  

tender salmon avocado goes so well with it you  often don't see avocado in a cereal so yeah really  

nice addition just delicious overall it looks  beautiful and it tastes even better wow how's that  

cake the cake is outstanding it's one of the most  decadent cakes i've had in years it is basically  

copious amount of manhart blanco which is like  a dulce de leche and then chocolate layers of  

chocolate one after the other after the other it's  so ridiculously thick and sweet and rich tasting  

it's honestly it's like a dense dense brownie  this place apparently uh specializes in its  

desserts if you wanted to just come here for like  cake and and a coffee very well very good idea  

hello hello welcome back to our humble abode  yeah what a meal huh it was good it's delicious  

very filling yeah the cake was a knockout blow  for sure so that was my first introduction to some  

traditional chilean dishes yeah i don't  think i've ever had a corn what was it  

called a corn pie pastilla chocolate yeah it  kind of reminded us of some korean food where  

it came in a stone pot and yeah if you leave  the ingredients they kind of stick to the side  

but then they're delicious when you scrape them  off yeah basically my bowl it had a layer of  

meat on the bottom it had a piece of chicken  breast yeah a boiled egg and then corn like a  

corn porridge almost and you just mixed it all  together so that was good yeah it was and the  

price point so all the food wine and dessert was  just slightly over 30 us dollars and we knew chile  

would be a little bit pricier than argentina we  were expecting that and we have noticed it in the  

prices it's also in patagonia too yeah it's just  generally more expensive what a great day great  

food a good start to puerto natales chile and we  will see you tomorrow with our little excursion we  

are going to torres alpine a full day tour indeed  we need a good sleep so yes we have to be on  

purdue and we're going to say goodbye with that in  mind goodbye friends and see you in the next video  

you
