Valparaíso between utopia and reality

Rediscovering the past through the eyes of the present

Tres libros en uno. Tres historias sobre Valparaíso que entrelazan la mirada de los extranjeros, el destino catastrófico y los mitos y anécdotas del “puerto principal”. De la utopía a la realidad, del pasado al presente, imaginación, fantasía y verdades reveladas que abrazan cinco siglos de historia para entender, conocer y comprender mejor el Valparaíso actual.
