Valparaiso Hostels - Reviews and Rates

On Thursday afternoon we got the bus to Valparaiso (a port-city about two hours away from Santiago). We checked in to our hostel which is gorgeous, with high ceilings and shutters and blue and white sheets. Everybody here just speaks Spanish to us which is great because we are learning loads. About three o'clock we headed out into the town wher...

On my way to Viña del Mar (I beach resort town) i decided to get off one stop early in Valparaiso because it was foggy in Valapariso, which was very close to Viña del Mar, which meant it would be most-likely foggy there, and therefore a bad day to sleep on the beach!. However this was decided two minutes before the bus was about to leave Valpara...

Ok- I usually use facebook to upload all of my photos, so to avoid having to do it twice, I'll provide the link for all of my facebook albums. If anyone has any trouble accessing them let me know and I will upload them manually onto this website too. You won't have to create a username and password to view the facebook photos, just follow the li...

Valparaiso Sensibly, I had muted expectations for Valparaiso. The book (Lonely Planet) raves about the place but says, somewhat contemptuously, that some people just don't get the city. I reckoned that I had a pretty high risk profile. Valparaiso is on the tourist trail because there are cute little winding streets and brightly painted currogate...

Sunday was a very, very long day - two and a bit days in fact due to the International Date line, and so we arrived in Valparaiso in a bit of a confused, jetlagged state (and with extra underpants Loz). Are we regretting not learning Spanish? Absolutely, it is hard!! We have no idea what we are ordering in restaurants, but for the moment with fo...

Saa har vi forladt min faetter Cristian, og hans familie i Temuco. Vi tog i aftes en natbus fra Temuco, og ankom i morges ,efter 10 timers korsel til Valparaiso. Valparaiso er den 2.storste by i Chile, og ligger ca 1,5 times korsel nord fra hovedstaden Santiaco. Bussen var faktisk super laekker, og vi er ud over alt forventning friske og udhvile...

Salut. Here follows my accounts from the second half or so of Chile to arrival in ARGENTINA: (16th July cont'nd): My was I glad to have made the right decision to leave Antofagasta the same day of arrival... for some reason, the moment I got off the bus I didn't get one good vibe about the place - seemed creepy, smelly, dirty, noisy, depressing....

The mysterious old port city of Valapariso. The world turned its back on her when the Panama Canal opened....... Located 1.5 hours bus ride from Santiago. After having 4 days here, it´s difficult to know where and how to describe this place. On first impression, it is basically a shanty town, the majority of the houses are shacks, others beautif...
