The Best Vinyl Stores in Santiago
For you hipsters, music lovers and vinyl collectors, don’t overlook Santiago as a city to bring up-and-coming and classic vinyl from all over the world to your doorstep. Possibly the most exciting places to scavenge for cheap, unknown, and obscure Latin records would be Barrio Italia and El Persa Bio-Bio, while the shops tend to have new and old releases that are first-hand. Once you’ve exhausted all these shops, keep an eye out for regular events held by Santiago en Vinilo.

Vinilos por Mayor
Hunt through the bargain section where old vinyl is sold for a luca (CLP$1,000), or if you’re searching for something in particular, the new records vary from Latin and Chilean music to black music, folk and blues, as well as classic, rock and pop sections. Or visit them online to see their current discounted vinyl.

Hard to Find Vinilos
Just a stone’s throw from Sonar and Funtracks is this store, aptly named, hopefully, so you’ll find whatever you’ve been looking for. This record store is linked with the fashionable SONIK clothing store.
