Te queremos Valpo!!

Valparaiso, a city situated on the coast and only 2 hours from Santiago in Chile was definitely one of our faves. We hadn't heard of the place prior to travelling and we think that it is truly under-rated. The city has been given UNESCO world heritage status and upon exploring the city you can see why. Every building is painted a different colour, with houses stacked all across the hillsides with the most spectacular views of the port and the ocean below.







It's a bohemian place and the cultural capital of Chile, with art and graffiti around every corner, along with cool cafes, bars and a good vibe. And, if you feel particularly lazy and can't be bothered to walk a few hundred steps up to the neighbourhoods on the hillsides, you can take one of the many ascensores or elevators that were built in the late 1800's.....We seriously had to drag ourselves away from this place!!
