Valparaíso, Chile

For about the past ten days, I´ve been in Chile´s second largest city, Valparaíso. It´s an amazing city, built next to the ocean and surrounded by cliffs. Kind of reminds me of a Chilean San Francisco, but much smaller.







There are a lot of brightly painted buildings, meandering paths and stairways, and tons of murals and graffiti.









Pasajo de los sueños (Passage of Dreams)



Part of an outdoor museum. Twenty or so famous Chilean artists designed murals and university art students painted them.



Everything gets painted here









In case you´re too lazy to walk up the stairs, you can take an ascensor up the hill for between $.20-$.40

They even have pelicans here! My first since Australia
