State of the art... in ValparaÃso, Chile
 VidaWe went on a day trip from Santiago (Chile's capital) to the nearby ValparaÃso, a pretty town that's worth spending a day in. |  Trolley BusHow to get around ValparaÃso - a tram and a bus all rolled into one. |  LiftThe almost antique lifts around town are essential ways to get you to the top of the hills that form ValparaÃso. |
---|
 Although when the lifts are out of order, there's no other way but to walk... |  All eyes on meAlthough most people go to ValparaÃso to see the coloured houses on the top of the hills, the street art around town was the best part for me. |  Painting |

Desert nights... in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
 Valley of the MoonThis "Valle de la Luna", (unlike the one we visited near La Paz) is in Chile, 13km west of San Pedro de la Atacama - the town that borders Bolivia. |  ErosionIn this excursion we saw various stone and sand formations which have been carved by wind and water. |  SurfThe name "Valle de la Luna" or Valley of the Moon was given because of the range of colour and texture that makes this valley look like the surface of the moon. |
---|
 AmphitheatreThis formation was given its name due to its resemblance to a Roman theatre. |  Sand Dune |  LicancaburThe Volcano in the background, Licancabur, is a natural border between Chile and Bolivia. |
