Valparaiso - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some interesting/fun things to do in the area? Can you recommend any “hidden gems"?
There is a recent resurgence of civic pride here, meaning the city is awash with art, plays, festivals etc. The city itself has a great number of distractions as well. Everything one would expect from a major university town plus the addition of general sightseeing. The entire down town in a UNESCO world heritage center and is quirky charming. Having said that, though, Chileans themselves tend to be rather reserved, even to the point of being boring. You, often, will have to be the impetus in social situations. - Jul 2006
