Guria
I was on my way to Empanadas Famosas when Guria caught my eye.
Cementerios of Valparaiso
It’s a bit of a hike to get to the series of cemeteries at the top of Cerro Panteon but it is worth it.
Carlos, Sailor

Valparaiso Street Murals
I did not expect to see as much street art as I did in Valparaiso. The whole city is a canvas displaying the highest caliber of graffiti and murals.

Galindo is a laid back and casual spot to try out traditional Chilean food.

Cemeteries are one of my favorite places to visit when traveling through new cities. A cemetery gives a great window into a culture and a people.
Hogs Salchicheria
Salchichas (aka hot dogs) are what’s happening here and you get to choose from a variety of tubes to dress up the way you want to.
La Piojera
This is one tough dive bar or maybe it just happened to be at the moment I swung through. It’s for locals and locals that like to drink – namely, El Terremoto, The Earthquake.
Julio, Produce Vendor
Santiago, Chile
Liguria
A Chilean bistro with great ambience and good food. I had the chicken al pil pil which is a hot bowl of chicken with a light broth. Bread and salsa was served to start.
Emporio Zunino in Mercado Central
On my visit to this market my plan was to nosh on some seafood at one of the restaurants lining the exterior of the market.
Mercado Central
El Mercado Central is largely a place to find fresh seafood but meat, cheese, bread and pastry shops can also be found.
Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes
A neoclassical structure where I got to see exhibitions by Chilean artists and where I discovered the photography of Sergio Larraine.
