A bit of history

FoodTrip Chile was founded by local food enthusiasts aiming to showcase Santiago's culinary heritage beyond typical tourist spots. Chile's cuisine blends indigenous Mapuche ingredients with Spanish colonial influences, and the tour highlights this fusion through family-run stalls and traditional recipes.
