Apart from the colorful houses, 90% of the city’s walls are covered with street art. The content of the street art is fascinating, illustrating stories related to society, dilemmas, jokes, famous figures, and much more. Locals also revealed to me that some residents are willing to pay artists for the right to control the drawings on their walls. It’s a unique way of fostering community peace. No doubt, this place is a living art museum.

If you’re planning a day trip to Valparaíso, I suggest ending your visit with a wine-tasting tour in Casablanca Valley. You’re going to love Chilean wine, it’s among the best in the world.
