Latinoamericana plus... Day 22

Image
After a week spent over 3000m i take a fly from Juliaca (the nearest airport for the city of Puno) to Lima, the capital of Peru. I´m tired, probably too much time spent at that high with my frenetic rithm, my body need probably a break... Lima looks like a new huge city, full of traffic and big building castling on the cliff facing the ocean, but have most amazing and beautiful sunset i never see. Around 6 PM I take my way to a the near park of Love, and minutes after minutes the color of the sky was changing color with all shade of red, purple, violet and yellow. I waiting until the end of the light walking long a nice track on the cliff. I think this is one of the most beautiful present the world can give to us.

 Valparaiso  Find colors in South America is simple, you need just watch the sky, the flower or some house; but today I funded something of completely new for me. After a quick travel on bus from Santiago (Cile) to Valparaiso, I start to walk around this incredible city. If you watch Valparaiso from outside can looks like a Favelas of Rio, but when you start to focusing the details everything change, the million of colorful hours became a pice of art. The wall of the house are covered with metal sheet painted with different color, but every house, staircases, wall near the streets are covered with murals.                         And they keep painting new one, if you are lucky is possible see some drawer working on the walls.                          You can spend the entire day without see the same pice o...
