Curitiba - A safe haven for vegetarians in Brazil
Being a vegetarian in Brazil can be tough, but Curitiba (about 6 hours south of Sao Paulo) is an exception. The city in general is very green and environmentally friendly, and they're proud of it. I met more vegetarian locals here than anywhere else in South America. I surfed in an apartment with 5 people living in it and only one was not vegetarian or vegan. If you're there, check out Balarama, a restaurant in (or near) the old city. All you can eat vegetarian food for R$8 (about $5 USD). My hosts also took me to a hot dog stand on a street corner that served vegetarian and vegan dogs. Delicious! I don't remember exactly where it was though. And I almost forgot to mention that every Saturday there is vegetarian street fair. Unfortunately I missed it while I was there.

Soy burgers in Santiago
I wasn't exactly sure what to expected when I crossed the border from Argentina to Chile, but I was very happy (and surprised) to find people around the city selling vegan soy burgers out of large tupperware bins. The first time I saw this, right outside the Bellas Artes Metro station, I asked the guy several times if he was SURE it didn't contain any meat. After that, I ate at least one every day. One time the lady who sold me one asked me if I'd like some vegan potato mayonnaise. Awesome! Burgers cost 500 CLP, or about $1 USD. Chile is also known for its excellent fruits. Head over to La Vega market in Santiago, about 5 blocks north of Plaza de Armas for a cultural experience and a huge selection of fruits, nuts, vegetables, and everything else for really cheap. |
