303 | VALPARAISO Tour in 5 MINUTES!!! (Chile Travel VLOG)

2 October 2019 - Day 41 - Valparaiso

VLOG 303

Today we head to the other side of town to take a walking tour of Valparaiso!! We take a trolley bus from our hostel to Plaza Sotomayor where we start our tour with @tours4tips! 🎨🚎

We learn about the history of Valparaiso from its development into one of the thriving port cities of its time, to it’s decline and rise of bohemian life. We take an ascensor to the top of the two main tourist hill Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepcion. With the 45 hills that comprise this town, it was and still is the way for locals and tourists alike to scene up the hills even after over 100 years! 💃🏻🚠

With the decline of wealth and businesses came the flurry of creativity and here is where we see the windy streets and endless staircases filled with street art. The thing which I found most intriguing were the context behind some of the artwork, from the times of the socialist president to the dictatorship, to nowadays where there is nation wide protests due to lack of education funding. 🏚🎨🖼

Nestled within these narrow streets are funky bars and cafes to suit just about anyone taste where it transforms into a busy area known for its nightlife. We ditch the camera and head out into town for the night, and try out some of Chile’s we’ll known drinks the Pisco Sour and the Terremotto - literally meaning an earthquake. A drink which has certainly earned its name as by the end of the night @menchacalaca was wobbly on her feet and felt the ground shake. Lol!! 🥂🍹🍹
