Coquimbo, Chile

Coquimbo is a very old port town on the central Chilean coast.
Our tour took us around the oldest parts, but we quickly headed north to La Serna
which is more of a beach resort with an old central plaza.
We stopped at the La Recova Market and had the chance to roam some of the streets of the old town.
Newer parts of La Serena looked like suburban USA.
