Part of the must-do in Valparaiso is to ride the old school furnicular ascensors up the hills instead of climbing endless stairs. It doesn’t matter what we tell you about where to go…just let yourself wander aimlessly here and the city will reward you in kind. And that is essentially what you do in Valparaiso: walk and explore. I managed to bum wifi off from a nearby museum (500 Chilean pesos if you’re a student), and managed to find my group at a nearby café.įrom there we began exploring. They had both my maps so I wandered blind around Valparaiso for about an hour alone.ĭidn’t mean I couldn’t find great sights myself: How fitting.Īs I was trying to sort this out, I let the group go ahead, but slowly.īut I would lose them anyway. Instead it would then get eaten by the machine - as in, it was confiscated and presumably destroyed. We started our day by trying to take money out of the ATMs, whereby I was able to convince my bank to unblock my ATM card - the one that got skimmed in Rio - for a few minutes so I could take out some cash. So we did our best to enjoy Valparaiso as much as we could, and support the residents of this wonderful city and UNESCO World Heritage Site. I wished there was something we could do for the city, but it seemed that when I asked around, the government didn’t want foreign tourists to get involved and that they had the situation fully under control. Our stay here in Valparaiso surprisingly was unaffected by the fire.
By the time we all fully digested how bad this was, we were already on our way to Valparaiso.
