We flew to Santiago yesterday and arrived in the evening for 3 nights here in the capital city of Chile. Today we we took a day trip out to Valparaiso.
Valparaiso is Chile's third largest city of approximately 600,000 and is said to be one of the world's most picturesque ports. It has a surprising mix of architectural designs which reflect its European influences. The city is built on steep hills that overlook the Pacific. There is a huge array of street art on city streets. We had lunch in the lovely home of a local family high upon a hill with gorgeous views of the city and harbor.
