Upon arriving in South America and Chile, I directly went to Valparaiso, giving Santiago a miss. This was an excellent decision as I stayed at a wonderful hostel, Luna Sonrisa, in the heart of Valparaiso.
Valparaiso is built on many hills, overlooking the pacific ocean and many of the houses are painted in bright colors - giving the views over Valparaiso a special and colourful touch.
Walking the hills was fabulous: the different style architecture, the colors, the views and the deep blue sky - it was wonderful.
I also went to the local fish market, which was an experience: not only all the fresh fish, but all the animals around made it a highlight of my visit: hundreds of pelicans and many sea lions were swimming a long the shore, hoping to get some remains of the freshly caught fish - amazing to see such wildlife almost in the city center!
Here some pictures, which give a small taste of the wonderful city Valparaiso is.
