Like the author, you'll trudge up and down cobblestone steps in Valparaiso, climb hills that require you're part billy goat, ride an ascensor (historic cable cars that travel between street levels), learn some of Chile's history and end up at the Open Sky Museum.
This outdoor art walk let's you view world-class murals while you sip on a Pisco Sour and learn the truth about the myth that Chilean's are born with a paint brush in their hands!
You'll also explore fascinating walled gardens between street levels, eat in restaurants with a bird's eye view of the bay, laugh at Pablo Neruda's eccentric sense of humor in his hilltop cottage where he did a lot of his writing and fall in love with Valparaiso – Chile's cultural capital.
Santiago is a different kind of experience. It’s a big (5 million) somewhat smoggy city with a view of the Andes and dozens of places to explore.
Santiago was a 2012 Traveller’s Choice Award Winner and will likely be for 2013 as well, as more global travellers adventure to South America.
Museums, markets, sculpture park, modern malls, cafes, dance clubs – there’s so much to see and do.
Santiago has an excellent subway (metro) system that will transport you to most of the places you'll want to visit. And the best shopping on your South American trip (if you're looking for special Artisan's work) is here at Los Dominicos Handicraft Market.
Chile is fast becoming one of the most recognized wine producing countries in the world - second only to France at the recent September 2012 Decanter Worldwide Wine Awards in London, England. With over 14,000 wines in competition, only 28 wines received worldwide trophies – and 5 of those international trophies went to Chilean wines.
There are several vineyards between the two cities and you may want to extend your visit for an extra day to experience wine country - there are lots of options for tours, tastings, even accommodation at the vineyards.
