Coastal Chile: Colorful Valparaíso and Viña del Mar

Two years ago, in March 2019, I traveled down to South America for my friend’s wedding in Lima, Peru. I stayed 4 days in Lima (photos here) and then flew off to Chile, where I spent two days/one night in Valparaíso before spending the rest of my time in Santiago and environs. Valparaíso is a very colorful city with lots of street art/graffiti covering many buildings in and around downtown. Here’s some of what I saw while out & about. I also have some photos from adjacent Viña del Mar which neighbors Valparaíso.

1) The view from my hotel room overlooked the industrial harbor of Valparaíso.

37) The following morning, I hopped on the Metro in Valparaíso and took the train to neighboring Viña del Mar.


38) Arriving at the Estación Viña del Mar. Yes this section of the line is in a subway.


39) The marine layer was thick with gray skies prevailing, but it was still a nice time wandering around coastal resort city known for its gardens and beaches.
