Blogs from Valparaíso, Valparaíso Region, Chile, South America

Valparaíso Just wanted to write a small ”in general” update here from Valparaíso since all the experiences are kind of a blur, since im experiencing things every day. I’m so in love with this city! Every time I leave the house I see something new and exciting, graffiti, new cool houses, and interesting people etc., never a boring day in this city. We’ve been lucky enough to find a house in Cerro Carcel just next to Plaza Bismarc, which according to Lonely Planet is a must see spot because of the amazing view. We can see all of the coast and the sea and during nighttime we can see all of the beautiful lights that glow up. The harbor is so charming with the beautiful Plaza Sotomayor in the background. From the plan you can see ... read more

Buenos dias, We unfortunately did not get a chance to visit Valparaiso as much as we would have liked but our tour of the city made us appreciate how much of a bohemian and artistical culture there is to see an experience there in Val Po, what used to be the home of the famous Pablo Neruda. I will let the photos speak for themselves. Hasta Lluego x... read more

Après une courte nuit dans le bus malgré le siège inclinable cama, nous voici arrivées à Valparaiso. Premier challenge, rejoindre l’auberge qui est, bien sûr, en haut d’une colline. Et bien sûr, le funiculaire qui nous aiderait à la gravir est en panne (comme beaucoup dans Valparaiso comme nous découvrirons plus tard). Donc c’est en nage, à 9h du matin, que nous arrivons et avons déjà commence la visite en traversant le musée à ciel ouvert avec, marque de fabrique de la ville, de nombreuses peintures/graffiti sur les murs. Un petit dej nous accueille à l’auberge ainsi que Beata, arrivée la vieille, fraîche et reposée. L’après-midi nous allons joindre la visite gratuite de la ville de 3 heures ‘Tour 4 tips’ mené par une californienne très en voix, c’est peu de le dire. Première découverte très ... read more

This weekend, I will be heading out on a camping trip with some friends! We will leave Thursday night and take an overnight bus 7 hours north to a city called La Serena. We will spend some time there and then we will also go to Valle del Elqui, where will camp for a couple nights. I am sure I will talk more about it in my next entry, but it should be an awesome time and a great way to see some of the beautiful land to the north of where I live! In this post, I have decided that I want to talk briefly about some the random/ interesting/funny events that have happened to me so far that I may not have touched on in other posts. I am realizing that there are some ... read more
