We had originally intended to stay in Valparaíso with the kids, but were convinced to stay instead in nearby Viña del Mar, and commute over to see the sights on the local bus.

This turned out to be excellent advice as the city is definitely scenic and atmospheric, but also very hilly, a bit dodgy in places, and quite piss-smelling!

Instead we headed into Valpo a every few weeks to walk amongst the graffitied walls, and to have lunch in some excellent restaurants. Here are some of our favourite street scenes.
