After a very long journey to reach Valparaiso, we were delighted to reach our hotel room and be greeted by a very friendly hostess who allowed me to check in early. The room was very clean and very nice sporting wooden floors, a wonderful shower, and a very comfortable bed. I felt very cozy staying there and it was a joy to return after a long day of exploring all that Valparaiso has to offer.
Scrambled eggs is, to my understanding, not a typical Chilean breakfast, but because the lady who served us breakfast knew we were from the US she would make them for us. This was a sweet gesture and made the breakfast remind me of home. We were also served bacon, bread, meats and cheeses, yogurt, fruit, coffee, and juice. I was quite unhappy with myself when one morning I found that I slept right through breakfast.
Puerta Escondida is between Cerro Concepcion and Cerro Alegre which is a great spot for tourism and experiencing the city. Less than a five minute walk away we enjoyed fantastic sushi, ice cream, pastries, and of course empanadas. Our hostess was great in pointing out good local spots to visit and loaning us an umbrella when it was pouring rain outside.
If we visit Valparaiso again, and I certainly hope that we do, I will most certainly stay at Puerta Escondida a second time.
