Hola, Lucho. I know Valparaiso quite well. I suspect you won't get a lot of takers on this board, but I can tell them that this is one of the most interesting cities in the world. It's a small place, but loaded with tradition.

I wish I know about the activities there on my visits. I've been there three times as a visiting prof. in the history dept. at the U. Catolica de Val. I'll probably get back again as I have some good friends, and I'll bring a mando.
