Our Idea & History

JCSantiago, short for Journey Companion Santiago, was born in 2020 from a love for this incredible city. Our founders, a mix of local Santiaguinos and travel junkies, saw too many tourists miss out on the real Santiago – the hidden cafes, the lively markets, the stories behind the streets. So, we built this site to share insider tips and make trip planning a breeze. From a small blog, we’ve grown into a full-on guide, curating the best of Santiago’s sights, eats, and events. We’re not some big corp – we’re a passionate crew who lives and breaths Chile’s capital!
