Today we had a tour to Valparaiso & Viña del Mar. These are port and beach cities next to each other and about 90km from Santiago. On the way we passed copper mines, went under two mountain ranges through long tunnels and even managed to visit a winery.
Valparaiso is the older city of the two. Hills are lined with colourful houses and funicular railways climb the hills in a number of places along the escarpment.
Viña del Mar is a beach resort town with a beach lined with high rise apartments.
It also has an archaeological museum that has a statue from Easter Island at the front.

Hi Mum and Dad,
Good to see you're having fun. I hope the wine was good! I went to Domaine Chandon yesterday myself.
Take care,
Love Janet
