         		 Valparaiso claims the title as the third largest graffiti capital in South America behind Buenos Aires and Rio. It got so bad the government commissioned two professional artists to put on workshops to help local artists incorporate graffiti with more culture and meaning. This particular
         		 That's Frank our tour guide again. He was a good sport letting me take this photo. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[233]
         		 The secret to making a building made of mud earthquake proof is diagonal beams that flex. We were told they have so many earthquakes that anything less than 7 on the richter scale is considered a tremor. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[271]
         		 The prominent religion in Valparaiso during the 1800's was catholic. The catholic church allowed other religions to practice their faith just as long it didn't compete too much with the Catholic faith. To ensure the other religions didn't get too popular they were'nt allowed to build their church with a front door. Catedral Angelicana de St Paul is a evangelical church built in 1858 with a small side door for it's practitioners to enter. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[261]

         		 El Diablo was spotted in the cellar!: by danidawnandstevo, Views[291]
         		 The wine cellar was made of limestone, mud and egg and was very old, dark and damp. It also came complete with a legend. The owners wine mysteriously kept disappearing from the cellar. He devised a plan to put an end to the thefts and spread a rumor the devil lived in it. Some say they saw the devil with their own eyes and everyone trembled at the thought of going into the cellar. The owners rumor finally brought an end to the thefts. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[280]

    Estadio Monumental served as a makeshift prison in 1973 during the time dictator Augusto Pinochet ruled making it one of the most infamous sports arenas in the world. It opened in 1938 and to say it's showing its age would be an understatement. Barbed wire and plexiglass separate each section obscuring the view of the first 10 or 15 rows of seats in the entire stadium so nobody sits in them. An additional section of seating was left empty in remembrance of the thousands that were beaten, tortured and murdered by Pinochet leaving minimal seats available in the section we were quarantined. We stood the entire game catching the occasional glimpse of the action and listened to the rowdy Chilean fans sing songs and cheer for their team. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[282]

    Made it to the crater! Fumes were overwhelming, fortunately we were supplied with air purifying respirators. Only allowed to spend 15 minutes there but it was the best ever. The sounds and sights of lava splashing down below was well worth the trek up. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[315]

         		 Although the pool appears to be a hot spring it was lukewarm at best and we froze our butts off. Not to mention the elevation was 13,000 feet and very cold outside. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[304]
     
    This abandoned piece of machinery was used to capture pressurized steam coming from the geyser for power generation until they found out all of the geysers were connected.
