Valparaiso Travel Blogs

We hit the highway towards Valparaíso, but, it was getting late so we decided to stop by the Palacio Viña Mar for lunch and some good wine. I made a review about it, so I won’t say much here. I ordered a Risotto with sea food that was just wonderful. I also had a drink of Pisco Sour. I liked it…

We visited the coastal town of Valparaiso for the day. It was a short drive from Santiago and definitely worth the visit. We nearly had the beach to ourselves- and it was the Summer. Here- we learned just how funny Chilean men are. My friends and I decided to wear our Brazilian bikinis to the beach…

The adventure of (yet un-named ) the gnome begins !

Let's not hold my sort-of-mugging against Valparaiso, overall it was a charming town and different from anywhere I had visited previously on my trip. But, having said that, I would advise people not to make the mistake of becoming complacent and thinking that because they have survived p…

I have changed my blog so that it now incorporates my full South American adventure!

I spent the day walking around Valparaiso. I actually had intended on going to La Sabastiana (Pablo Neruda's home in Valparaiso) but it turns out the only day it's closed is Monday. Of course I chose to go on Monday because I hadn't done any research and just showed up. It's good thing I only have …

Efter et par dage i La Serena, hvor vi saa de mange kirker og en frodig dal, hoppede vi igen paa en natbus til Valpraiso ved kysten ud fra Santiago. Vi havde en fantastisk dag hvor vi slentrede rundt i de gamle gader. Byen ligger i en bugt med husene naermest slynget ud over bjergskraaningen. All…

Backpacking from Santiago de Chile down to Patagonia up to Iguazu Falls in 6 weeks

Well those following this blog will be happy to know that it is once again raining in Chile, so you get some photos and tales.  Talking to one of the hostel people this morning they told me that it hardly ever rains, and it's only maybe twice a year that you get 2 or 3 days of rain in a row li…
