Valparaiso was definitely my favorite while in Chile. Big seaport city, a declared UNESCO World Heritage Site, colorful and fun to explore. Did you hear: Colorful?!

An amazing amount of street art and painted houses along the winded streets of the hills.

The cables are kind of as crazy as in the U.S.  lol – – but I was smitten by the colorful stairs.

Valparaiso was once called “Little San Francisco” and streets like these made me understand why :) As you stop every 2 seconds too look at something colorful and amazing you make your way way up there – good workout to walk off some of the delicious empanadas we had for lunch.

And so slowly we made our way down – had some seafood close to the harbor and went back to Santiago.
