Nov 28 Vina Del Mar

 On our last day in Santiago, we visited the picturesque port of Valparaiso, founded in the 16 century with 43 hills that are reached by narrow, windy streets, staircases and a series of lifts (funiculars), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We continue to Viña del Mar, known as the Garden City for its pretty parks and flower-lined streets. On the return to Santiago, we stopped at some of the beaches. For dinner we enjoyed a traditional Chilean dinner at a local restaurant and bid farewell to our tour.

Ants painted on the street led to this confectionery shop, a good marketing ploy.
