Talca Hostels - Reviews and Rates

March 19 We left Santiago in a bus to Valparaiso which was only 1.5 hrs ride. Here is a `paraiso` to photograpers and artists alike, it is a very picturesque city on the hills with many cute houses cascading over towards the bay.

The 3rd thing we noticed that on the b...
