The night of Santiago does not wake up: economy, insecurity and new habits turn off nightlife. The social outbreak of 2019 and the pandemic changed the nightlife panorama of the Chilean capital.
Bars and restaurants close earlier and people prefer to get together at home. In Providencia, which in the 90s and 2000s was one of the epicenters of Chileans call going out to party – the hustle and bustle – the main artery no longer exists. At 10 pm on Thursday, a few pedestrians walk quickly to catch an Uber or taxi to enter the streets.
