Valparaiso

Our second stop in Chile let us to the Pacific coast line to the nice, charming, bohemian city of Valparaiso. Countless elevators [ascensores] criss-cross between the hills that surround the port.

This rather lefty town vividly keeps alive the memory of 60s/70s socialist icon Salvador Allende.


Perfectly reflecting the spirit of "Valpo", we spent a fantastic evening in a intimate, classy restaurant enjoying a splendid live jazz performance of young chilean musicians.
