Walking Valparaíso’s Neighborhoods

Invasion of the Toursists

Ursula and I spent much of the afternoon walking the hilly neighborhoods high above Valparaíso.  As you’ll recall from last week we arrived up here after ascending in a funicular — one of eight still serving this Chilean port city.

Cobblestones

The cobblestone streets up here offer up some great views of the bay far below.

The houses up here also display a certain charm.

Shutters and Pickets

The Doorway

And, yes, there is lots of color as well.

There are even some cliff-hanging cafés along the way.
