Viaje a Valparaíso

I spent my last weekend in Chile visiting the city of Valparaíso, which lies to the west of the capital, Santiago, on the coast. It is a very popular tourist destination, as I found out in my couple days there: for good reason? I'll leave that for you to decide. (It does have a unique charm, undoubtedly.)

el paseo yugoslavo


view from the hostel





los ascensores are both historical monuments (i.e., very touristy) and public transport

mural outside the hostel


stumbled upon this place for dinner... absolutely loved the coziness + cabin vibes

see how many times it says "vegana" on the menu?


found it on la calle Concepción, of course


this city is made up of various hills, or cerros
