Valparaiso

We are in Valparaiso, it is a lovely city built into the hills and are staying with our new friends Hannah and John. Valpo as the locals call it, is a once most important port city untill the completion of the Panama Canal. There are elevators built on train tracks that accend at complicated angles up the sides of colorful neighborhoods. They were built from 1870's to the 1920's and some of them used to be steam powered.

Afew days ago we were by Aconcagua, the highest point in the Americas. At a natural bridge called puente del inca it was awesome, we camped and met a guy that just got out of the Israeli Army... he told us that bolivia isn't dangerous... but he diffuses bombs in the Israeli army.
