Vibrant photos – great shots 🙂
Such life and vibrancy in your photos…captivating.
Wow — quite the colorful first impression, huh. BEAUTIFUL pix … I wish I were roaming around that city with a camera AND your sense of art! 🙂
I love how colorful Chile is. Very pleasant to the eyes 🙂

Very colorful shots! Loved them!
Great colors here, and someone let that poor dog out of jail! 🙂
the colors look amazing!
I love it! I’ll be visiting this place soon!
Funny. I’m an expat Santiago and my husband is from Valpo so we go there all the time to visit family. I know most of the places in your photos 😉 Valpo is quite photogenic. How long will you be in Chile?
Beautiful pictures and I love the colors of Valparaiso.
dazzling!
Woo im from Chile, my country is very beatiful.
I recommend traveling on the south, Chiloe, Frutillar, Dichato, Lebu, Puerto Montt, Temuco, Chaiten, etc …
Everything is very beautiful: D
Try the “Sopaipillas” and “Cazuelas de Pollo” and “cazuelas de vacuno”, the richer is “sanguche de potito”
Do well, walk carefully and remember to not be so confident, but people are of the most friendly out there.
Nice Photos
Makes me want to be there right now. That, or go out and REALLY paint my town! Gorgeous, glad to have a chance to see them on FP!
Fantastic photographs, looks like a fascinating and beautiful town.
So beautiful! Vibrant! God Bless You in your travels…Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Me encanta saber que amaste Valparaíso… Yo soy de Valpo… y cada día doy gracias de estar aquí viviendo¡¡
love your pics…graffiti is alive and well I see…great indoor shots – rita
Saving up for Chile!
Love your eye for color. Makes me really want to get on a plane and get out of town! Please post more about your experiences there.
Enjoy the city. It’s a great place. I’ve been three times now and it always amazes me.
Thank you for posting this! I visited Valparaiso in 1991. Not much has changed!!! Your pictures are stunning and help to remind me just how blessed I am as an American.
such bright colors!
Now I just HAVE to visit Valparaiso…always read about it and was intrigued, but your photos are gorgeous!
Muy colorido Valparaiso, muy bonito
Very colorful indeed! Exactly what is that third photo of? A store? What?! Congrats on being freshly pressed!
nice one really!!!..and that dog is really cute he he
Very nice pictures 🙂
I live in Brazil and still haven’t been anywhere else in Latin America, shame on me!!! Chile, Peru, Argentina and Mexico are definitely on my list, though. Hope to go there before I die – if I don’t, at least I’ve seen pictures 😛
I have wanted to visit Chile for years now. Your photos inspire me,
Oh, how I love the color that abounds in these shots! And the graffiti is just as colorful. I love, love the sign that says “Chocolat Cafe”! How utterly gorgeous! 🙂
One of my favorite cities. Enjoy!

Beautiful town. Nice shots 🙂
This is amazing. So different from the world I know. Keep sharing.
Beautiful! Love how the blue colors pop out from the photos!
I love Valparaiso. It was my first international destination when I was 18 (I turned 19 there!). I would go back in a heartbeat!
Feeling like a Pisco Sour after seeing these shots!!
Valpo is definitely one of the strangest and awesome-est cities in the world! Cool shots!
Bijzonder kleurrijk….vooral de hond vind ik schattig 🙂
Gorgeous
Very nice picture man, what campera do you use???
thanks! used exclusively an X100 for the shots.
Outstanding color! I love that shot of the sign…Chocolat Cafe….wish I could be there! Have a great rest of your trip!
Thanks for sharing these and showing the colors of Valparaiso. I almost moved to Chile several years ago to teach, but that fell through and I’ve forgotten about Valparaiso until seeing these images. Thanks for fueling the wanderlust. The street art and hilly streets are particularly attractive!
Even the white dog is colorful with that electric blue collar. Fantastic photos! Glad I don’t live near all those power lines in the houses picture.
A lot of color and sunlight in your photos.
a splash of colors…
i love it!
My country<3 super cooI photoes btw;)
Yeah that is very nice from that town to do it so!:) Few years ago there was just few houses which were kind of yeallow/green or blue …
I could just eat those colors!!! Amazing- Congrats on being Fresh pressed too!!
So bright and colorful! I love it!
What a great set of pictures.. well done 🙂
Of all places; we’ve just read The Killer’s Tears by AL Bondoux in English class, which just happens to have a character from Valparaiso! “Extremely colorful” wasn’t a bad description for the city based on your photos, I must say. They’re lovely and I especially love those vinyl records! 🙂
Colorful like rainbow. Btw I also have a posting about rainbow. Here http://priajelita.wordpress.com/2011/11/19/shes-a-rainbow/ Please check it if you have time. Thank you
congrats! great perspective and the colors are amazing!

In BsAs now, will be in Chile in the second half of this year. Really excited.. but also trying not to get ahead of myself too much!

South America with a camera. Two thing’s I’ve been trying to do for years. Super jealous/impressed. Great work!
These are such beautiful photos! It’s my dream to one day live in Valparaiso so when I saw this on the home page I got so excited. Thank you for sharing such wonderful photos!

I miss Chile. I’m a “Santiaguina” but any city in that long, lustful land will give me nostalgia. Thanks for the photos.
Oh wow, these are so cool! They remind me of some little places in South Africa.
My dad is from Valparaiso 🙂
Love your pictures. I have travelled in Chile and it is the most beautiful, fascinating country. A sense of pride amongst the people and the best food & wine I have ever tasted. Great Job!
Nice Snaps
Lucky chap! GREEN with envy and yes, I love the colours too. Have fun.
Your photos look absolutely amazing! I’m so jealous. When I went to Valparaiso it was a state holiday, everything was shut and there was a pro communist demo.
love the explosion of vibrant colors..
Valparaiso looks awesome. I wish I had of gone. After seeing your colourful pics I think it’s on the cards next time
facinating photos that you have taken, could be so interesting to go there, thanks for sharing!

Those are absolutely stunning photographs! Congrats on being freshly pressed!
You have brought the streets alive with your photos!
I like lamp
Viña del mar is about 9km from Valparaiso
the colors and yellows and reds
rained down
in cascades
over steps and dogs and men
and were captured and shuttered
inside us
Greetings from nearby Buenos Aires!
Love Love love Valpariso!!
Welcome to Valparaíso 😀
Terence S. Jones. Hallo there. Captivating pictures of Valparaiso. Seems like a sort of Paradise on earth. And the dog is so cute!
Wow the place just pops out doesn’t it?
Great photos!
The colors capture me. You have a great eye. Congrats on being freshly pressed!
Those are sweet pics. Everything is painted! It makes the US seem so boring.
I love the colors in your pictures, great work!
Bienvenido a Chile! Hope you enjoy the ride!
Hey! I really love those pictures. I can tell that you really caught the happy atmosphere Valparaiso has.
I’m from Chile and I’d like to advice you to go and visit Cachagua and/or Maitencillo. They are beautiful places located quite near Valparaiso.
I hope you are having fun.
This reminds me a lot of the colors you see in Bahamian villages. The bright blue is very Greek. And I have to say, the picture of the dog is what got me. I’m a sucker for the four-footed fiendies.
Everything is so vibrant and interesting! i love it!
Beautiful!
Amazing imagery! Such a seemingly colorful environment.
Colorful but empty… Where is people?
The photos are just amazing! I want more!!!!!!!
Safe travels,
Jennifer
Very, very nice photos! Like the colours! I visited Valparaiso too some years ago. I was very puzzled about that all the houses have bars before the windows, and I can see this also from your photos.. 🙂
welcome to Chile! last year i took a shootsafary in Valparaiso on my birthday.
Great Experience
You make me want to get a ship back to South America all over again!
I would love to vist there some day, you took some great photos there, nice work.
Dan
Vibrant color man, this reminds me of my study abroad in Argentina. What kind of camera are you shooting with?

I was only in Valparaiso for a little over a day, but I was immediately impressed by how colorful and picturesque it was, too. Your pictures make me want to go back!

Great photos! Love to travel, so I enjoy visiting blogs that make me wonder. Thanks for sharing your photos and enjoy your stay there! 🙂
I was there this time in 2009. Great photos and visual expressions of the city. Enjoy!
i live in Santiago ( Capital of Chile) with my GF, every month we go a weekend to Valparaiso-viña. There are many cultural and historical things to do in that city…
I arrived Chile last December 2011 and visited Valparaiso a week after. I decided to live in Chile for many reason. Yes indeed very colorful and interesting place to visit in Chile.
Btw, you have a great photos! Thank you for sharing.
Enjoy your stay in Chile.
