"Life for expats and digital nomads in Santiago is generally quite pleasant. The city is vibrant and full of culture, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities and exploration. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The city is also well-connected, with a reliable public transportation system and plenty of coworking spaces for digital nomads. Expats will find a welcoming and diverse community, with plenty of opportunities to make friends and explore the city," commented one expat who made the move to Santiago, Chile.

"Here in Chile, I believe that I read that they have the longest work week in terms of hours than any other country. I can believe it. Work days can be very long. I've also noticed that days begin later here for folks but they also end later. Eating your final meal of the day at 10 or 11 o'clock at night is not an unusual thing at all. On weekends however, the city is virtually closed except for the major supermarkets and the big malls. Most weekends you will find Chilean families either going out to one of the many parks around the city or spending the day at one of the malls. Restaurants and pubs mostly don't open on the weekends until after 4pm," remarked another expat in Santiago, Chile.
