Valparaíso & Viña del Mar!

The first weekend in May I went to Valparaíso & Viña del Mar. These are two important coastal cities not too far from Santiago; Valpo is a main port declared "World Heritage" by UNESCOand Viña is a main touristic destination in Chile. Enjoy the photos!

Exploring "los cerros" (hills) de Valparaíso.

After taking this picture I noticed a sign: "no photos, please."

These are tracks of the "funicular" (elevator) that you can ride to get to the top of the cerros.
They are very old and unique to Valpo.
