Wall Murals, Valparaiso, Chile

Location: Valparaiso, Chile

About and hour away from Santiago, Chile is the pleasant port town of Valparaiso.  Colorful murals of art beautify the hill-enticing cobblestone streets that seem to endlessly wind up and down.  When I came across this mural, with the Chilean flag hanging from the window, I caught my breath and admired it with wonder.

    Thanks for the photo! Its sad that if I was walking past that mural I would have probably not even noticed it. But seeing a photo gives me a chance to actually to take time and look.

      Cool Kirk, yes, sometimes it’s capturing a photo that makes one realize the detail and how interesting something actually was!

      Hey Sarah,
      Not sure the exact count (I’ll have to take some time to write that down), but somewhere around 40.

    We loved the wall murals in Valpo!! We took a lot of photos here, and the art was the best part. Such a great place to visit.

      Thanks Pete! When I would find a really nice mural, I would just have a seat and look at it for a while before continuing, beautiful street art in Valpo!
