The jewel of the pacific

One of the most beautiful places of Chile, for me, is Valparaíso.
Valparaíso is a unique city, his port and hills full of houses and stairs; they are located as an amphitheatre looking at the sea.
His houses hang of the hills and stand out for his fronts painted with strong colours.
Easily, one can go and get lost for the city; Valpo is full of corners for discovering. The elevators are a panorama not to lose ... some of them are in functioning for more than 100 years, and still they work with the same technology since then.
I like in specially the Concepción and Alegre hills, his houses are beautiful and the walks have to the best viewing-points of the city like the Atkinson or Yugoslavo.
But, without dude, the best of Valparaíso is the people. One can find persons of all parts of the world and each one reaches to the multicultural identity of the city.
Like before to come to study on Santiago, I was living in the fifth region, it was common to go every weekend to walk to Viña and to Valparaíso with my family, lamentably now I don't go so followed as I wanted.
Other panoramic of the city are the cultural carnivals that it realized to the end of year, in they makes theatre, poetry lecture, batucadas and in the nights, the Sotomayor square fills of people for some musical spectacle... last year I went to see to Los Bunkers.
Every New Year, we go with my family and friends to celebrate to the city, the fireworks are beautiful, one can see the entire coast illuminated, up to Viña del Mar, in addition the streets are full of people and every world is happy that day, so, what thing can be better than that?
