🧳 After wrapping up my business trip, I embarked on a captivating tour of the vibrant graffiti town of Valparaíso and the bustling capital, Santiago.
🍽️ Food
📍Aquí Jaime (see P1-2): Nestled along the coast en route to Valparaíso, this charming seaside restaurant offers breathtaking views. The baked seafood rice with succulent shrimp is an absolute must-try!
🗾 Attractions
📍Valparaíso (see P3-10): Just an hour’s drive from the city, this picturesque town is a canvas of colorful murals that adorn its walls, making it a photographer’s paradise.
📍Sky Costanera (see P11): Standing tall in the heart of Santiago, this iconic skyscraper is the tallest in South America.
Tickets, available at B1 for around 18,000 pesos, grant you access to the top floor, where you can witness a stunning sunset.
📍Bahá’í Temple (see P12): Perched on a small hill, this architectural marvel is designed with detachable components, allowing natural light to flood its interior and create a serene atmosphere.
📍Plaza de Armas (see P13-16): This historic square is home to the majestic Catedral Metropolitana de Santiago and the National Historical Museum of Chile, offering a rich tapestry of culture and history.
📍Cerro San Cristóbal (see P17): From the summit of Virgin Mountain, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking panoramic view of Santiago.
For a more leisurely ascent, the cable car is highly recommended, as the walk can take over an hour.
🎉 Throughout the business trip, I faced a series of unexpected challenges, but each one was resolved with patience and perseverance. As they say, good things come to those who wait, and the incredible sights I experienced made for a truly unforgettable conclusion.
