"Valparaiso is a natural bay that is surrounded by a mountain chain of cordilleran type that bathes its foothills in the sea and transforms it in an amphitheatre that looks towards the Pacific".
Valparaíso, port and city, is located in the central zone of Chile, 120 kms to the Northwest of Santiago; it is a hidden jewel in Latin America.
This is one of my favorite places that I know. I have family that has its own house on the "los placeres hill" and they welcome me every year in Valparaiso. They love me so much and they spoiled me a lot.
This city is very special for me, because since I was a little girl I got to this place and I have discovered so many beautiful places between all those hills. A port full of history and nostalgia for me.
In Valparaiso you can see very beautiful old architecture, you can visit the Port which is very nice, you can visit the National Congress or visit La Sebastiana, Pablo Neruda's house and a lot of other things. For all that is considered a world Heritage.
One of the things that I like to do in this city is riding a cable car; they are very beautiful and old. In them you can ride up the Valparaiso's hills and find hidden amazing places of this city.
Valparaiso is a wonderful place to forget the stress of Santiago and to get some rest.
