Ascensores just around the corner

We just found out there was one of those cute ascensores (lifts) just 2 blocks away from Valparaiso Villa Bed and Breakfast in Viña Del Mar! It was tucked away behind these trees.

The locals don´t think or look twice at it and use it like an elevator everyday to get to the neighbouring street because it has no viewing platform, but the view from the inside isn´t bad at all! Especially if you get lost..

If you want to get to know some history and get inside the Vergara Palace you´ve seen next door or Palacio Rioja in town, they are are offering free admission into these beautiful palaces from 10:00 to 13:30 and from 15:00 to 17:30 on the 30th of November this Sunday.

Also playing at noon the same day are some local theatre groups performing the story of the buildings first owners circa 1910.

Performance Times
Palacio Rioja 12.00
Palacio Vergara 12.00, 13.00.
