Visit to Vina de Mar and Valparaiso

Valparaiso is an old Chilean city on the Pacific Coast. It used to be an important seaport on the coast before the Panama Canal was built. All traffic between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans used to stop here. The city itself is situated on hillsides overlooking the ocean, offering a dramatic sight and views. The city still has its importance and is known for its street art scene.

Vila del Mar is a newer city which was developed for the rich people of Valparaiso to live in.
