Valparaiso Chile, is Chile's major cruise port, This is the working sister city to Vina del Mar. They actually border on each other, more or less. It is about 120 Km (75 miles) west of Santiago. This is the site of the Naval College, Chile's National Congress and it is the largest sea port for Chile. Its older streets and buildings speak to you strongly of the days when there was no Panama Canal and almost every ship that came around Cape Horn stopped and left a little of itself and its crew here. Being situated 1/2 on the plain and 1/2 on the surrounding hills its cable cars and dwellings perched on the bluffs offer a unique look to the city. As might br expected for Chile's largest port there is a good selection of hotels, excellent restaurants, old sailors bars, Viennese coffee shops...this might be your city. 120 KM. west north-west of Santiago and has excellent roads going there. |
