The salty smell of the Pacific.
Description:
On this tour we will plunge into the atmosphere of 2 cities located on the Pacific coast, but this, perhaps, their similarity and end. These cities are Valparaiso and Viña del Mar.
Valparaiso is a port city and, at the same time, a hill city. Valparaiso, as is the opinion among all the people who visited him, either immediately falls in love with himself, or immediately repels. It's an art city, an abstract city, a paint city. Here, drawings, graffiti, colorful mosaics are replaced on each street. Therefore, wonderful locations and photos are provided to you. But do not think that Valparaiso is a kind of cheerful kaleidoscope. The character of this city is due to its location, do not forget that it is a port, so the smell of gasoline and fish will accompany you everywhere. The architecture here is also very peculiar: the houses are former fishing settlements, but the colorful solutions of the facades make this city so unusual. And since the city itself is located on a hill, we will climb up one of the many funiculars and enjoy the views of both the ocean and the city itself.
Viña del Mar is a city territorially belonging to the Valparaiso region. This city is one of the most favorite places of residents of the capital region. Almost the entire coastline of the city is beaches, accompanied by the same line of coastal restaurants and cafes. When this city appeared, and it was at the end of the 19th century, it was a kind of country cottage for local wealthy citizens who wanted to be able to get out on the ocean to breathe clean air, contemplating the ocean. Today, however, the city has ceased to be such a closed place for a narrow circle of people and rest here is available to the general public for every taste and purse, but this has not lost its reputation as a pleasant place where you want to relax.
