The
day after, I was off to Valparaiso. Arriving
Valparaiso in the late morning, I was impressed by this coastal town a
lot more than Santiago. Buenos Aires has La Boca, Santiago has
Valparaiso. To my surprise,
Valparaiso is a lovely city and I will recommend everyone to come and visit. It is a
colourful enclave along the coast with a lot of unique
artistic wall paintings.

I walked most of the recommended places. The
Ascensor Concepcion was one of the most interesting ride you can ever take with a scary sound.

Another beautiful place to explore is the Paseo de Atkinson, with some fine restaurant around.

I packed and went back to Santiago the evening, as there was an early flight to Easter Island the day after.
