Spending three days in the port city of Valpo-UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Valparaiso was once the largest, most important port city in the South America...
until the Panama Canal was built.
Also on the most active plate in the world! In 2010, Chile was hit with one of the worse earthquakes in history; an 8.8 magnitude.
(Bottom right) Valpo's cerro's (hill neighbourhoods) are "easily" accessible by their many stairs,
but also these (see pic below)
