With a great love for Valparaíso and its history, I present to you a new chapter of “Caminando” where we leave Santiago for a while and transport ourselves to the coast. Without a doubt, many of you know Valparaíso and its beautiful hills, but this time we are not going up, we are staying down to take a walk through its fabulous financial district that often remains in the shadow of the Alegre and Concepción hills. This time I invite you to raise your head and enjoy its fascinating architecture, learn about the incredible stories hidden behind its eclectic facades and, together with me, celebrate an incipient renaissance of this sector declared by UNESCO as a world heritage site. I know I took a long time with this video, but it was worth it. Enjoy! Your likes and comments are always welcome and appreciated.
