The hills of Valparaíso
by Bjorgvin
Explore some of the hills (cerros) of Valparaíso (to name a few: Cerro Concepcion, Cerro Alegre, and Cerro Santo Domingo). Use the wooden trams or ascensores to reach the upper city. The hills are an impressive mix of colourful houses built by immigrant merchants, dating back to the early 1900s, winding streets, narrow alleys and steep stairways. Many Europeans made Valparaíso their second home in its heyday. The vast majority were English and German and they built houses influenced by European architecture.
Colo Colo..El Indio
by marsistanbul
Former club Magallanes players led by Arellano brothers,created their new club Colo Colo on April 1925,naming the club for a Chilean Mapuche chief(Colo Colo was a Mapuche leader,he held the position of Peace Leader,but took ever strategic duties when Spanish conquest began,becoming the head of the Native Mapuche forces againist invaders)
Colo Colo's nicknames El Indio(the Indian) or El eterno Campeon(the Eternal champion),and I believe that El Indio is one of the fantastic football club in Chile,and have the craziest( the DIEHARD) fans,because I am the one of them:) And I had a chance to watch of their last championship match,sure..We're the CHAMPION of 2007..
Saludos El Indio,saludos muchacos
Consulado de França / the French Consulate
by globetrott
Consulado de França / The French Consulate is one of my favorite buildings along Av. Brasil. You will find it at a place in a distance of about 1 km from Plaza Sotomayor, a building with an interesting architecture, lovely balconies, columns and even a few palmtrees in front of it. Even more interesting than the French Consulate are the 2 other buildings in the same block : see my next tip for these lovely Art-Nouveau-buildings !

Well the area is plenty of restaurants. But in this long time since I started to write in VT I haven´t gone any.
But, I strongly recomend eat the sweet and great BERLINES, in this place aside Plaza Victoria. The best berlines in the world.
Cara a cara con - Neruda - Face to face
by elpariente
Una de las tres casas de Neruda , donde iba a celebrar el Año Nuevo y ver desde sus terrazas lo fuegos artificiales de Valparaiso
La casa y sus jardines , con unas vistas espectaculares , son bonitos , recargados de recuerdos , poesías , libros , un caballo de madera y no falta una barra con ambiente marinero .
Neruda le dedicó estos versos: "Yo construí la casa. La hice primero de aire. Luego subí en el aire la bandera y la dejé colgada del firmamento, de la estrella, de la claridad y de la oscuridad".
On of the three Neruda houses , where he celebrated the New Year to see the Valparaiso fireworks
The house and the gardens , with spectacular views , are very nice , full of memories , poems ,books , a wooden horse and also a bar with marine atmosphere
Neruda dedicated to the Sebastiana this poem : "T built the house . I did it first with air . Then I Lifted the flag in the air and I left it hanging from the sky , from the star , from the light and from the darkness
