There are 15 funiculars that will take you up and down the hills of Valpariso. The one we are going to take down, the Ascensor Concepcion, was built in 1883.

The Plaza Sotomayor.
The Edificio de la Comandancia Naval (Naval Command Building). Built in 1910, inspired by the Hotel de Ville in Paris.

Look closely, the modern glass building is inside the old facade.
On one side of the Plaza Mayor. We were waiting for our bus to come through here.
Next to Vina del Mar, a resort town next to Valpariso. The castle on the rock is a private home.

Vina del Mar.
We were dropped off in front of the casino to find a place to eat lunch..
I went with three of my group to eat at this Tex-Mex Restaurant, Hot Chili Peppers. There were a number of restaurants here as well as a McDonald's.
They have fajitas.
Looked nice inside.
The menu.
Offering Taco de la Casa: Two torillas of wheat you fill of bird or Young bull accompanied By lettuce, peak of rooster and cheese, two accompaniments to Election. About $U.S.10. I guess you shouldn't order Mexican food in a foreign country. Not very good and a very very long wait for our food. McDonald's would have been a much quicker and perhaps a tastier choice.

Vina del Mar.
Coming back into Santiago.
