VALPARAISO...La joya del Pasifico.. In August of 2003,after a long wait,this city was declared on the list of WORLD HERITAGE of HUMANITY by UNESCO.This melting pot of immigrants,poets,bohemians and lovers,now shines throughout the world as a the jewel of the Pasific... "Heap,bouquet crazy houses" Neruda said of her,who also wrote of his own house that he built here;I built it first in the air.Then I raised the banner and left it to hang from in the heavens,from a star,from the clarity and from the darkness". |
|  | Hundreds of homes... Hundreds of homes and buildings painted in vibrant color mix with the weathered look of others dressed in simple metal siding,giving life to the nostalgic beauty of a city immersed in the passage of time. This is the port of Valparaiso,embedded between the sea and hills,always giving a warm welcome to the mariner,the traveler and the poet.. |
|  | True color of Valparaiso.. The furrowed hills with their grand passageways awake to the melodies of the organ grinder bringing cheer to the neighborhoods and the whistles of the knife-sharpener offering service to the household kitchens.. |
