I would have to say that so far the one regret I have is not spending more time in Valparaiso, Chile. We disembarked off the cruise ship into a port that did not look like much but we were wrong.
The city is quite hilly like San Francisco and there are funiculars to help you get from one part to another or you can use the various stairways. There is train that will take you along the water up to the next City, Vina del Mar, or up into the hills to Limache. But the amazing part is all of the colorful graffiti around the city and the wonderful food and wine. There are lots of young people who reminded me of what the late 60s and early 70s were like in California. Many were street musicians playing Beatles songs and soft jazz on saxophones in the plaza and parks around the city.
Instead of inserting pics I will instead insert the link to the photos taken and let you peruse them at your leisure and just say if you have the chance to go spend at least 3 days.

Here is a song by Sting that a good friend reminded of that will help set the mood.
Chase the dog star
Over the sea
Home where my true love is waiting for me
Rope the south wind
Canvas the stars
Harness the moonlight
So she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to
Valparaiso
Red the port light
Starboard the green
How will she know of the devils I've seen
Cross in the sky
Star of the sea
Under the moonlight
There she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to
Valparaiso
And every road I walked
Would take me down to the sea
With every broken promise in my sack
And every love would always send
The ship of my heart
Over the rolling sea
If I should die
And water's my grave
She'll never know if I'm damned or I'm saved
See the ghost fly
Over the sea
Under the moonlight
There she can safely go
Round the Cape Horn to
Valparaiso
