Today, set off to the Chilean northwest on a full-day tour to Valparaiso. Valparaiso is an important Chilean port city (and a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site), where 17 hills tower over the "basin" district. The city's distinctive features include meandering cobblestone streets and ancient ascensores—electric cable cars that climb into hillside neighborhoods and afford splendid sea views. You'll ride one of these ascensores up the hill for one of the many views of Valparaiso, then walk through the colorful streets, known for the colorful public art on the walls. Learn more about this cultural heritage during an exclusive Graffiti Art of Valparaiso Discovery Series event. You'll visit a local artist's studio, and also have the chance to contribute to a work in progress.
Afterwards, enjoy lunch in a local home. You'll learn about Chilean culture during this unique visit, and have the opportunity to spend time eating home-cooked food and talking about life in modern-day Chile. Then, you'll go to a lapis lazuli shop to learn about this valuable local export.
Enjoy the evening at your leisure.
