"The spirit of philosophy can only enlighten a small number of men; the vulgar will always be fanatics."
(Voltaire, Dictionnaire philosophique 1771)

"Los tiempos ilustrados sólo iluminarán a un pequeño número de personas honestas; las masas vulgares siempre serán fanáticas."
(Voltaire, Diccionario filosófico 1771)

The Polanco Lift is a passenger elevator located in Valparaíso, Chile. It consists of three stations and connects Simpson Street with Polanco Hill. This lift is the only "true" elevator in the city, as all others are technically funiculars. Today it is more visited by tourists than by the local residents. Construction began in 1913 and concluded in 1915. Inaugurated in 1916, the lift was developed by engineer Federico Page with the assistance of the Easton Lift Company. It was declared a National Monument of Chile in 1976. I invite you all to visit this picturesque area that is a part of the Historic Quarter of the Seaport City of Valparaíso and represents an extraordinary example of industrial-age heritage associated with the international sea trade of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. #privatetours #valparaiso #ascensores #lift #hills #unesco #chile #toursbylocals #tourguide #funicular #gains #travel #tourism #viñadelmar #cerros #santiago #nature #instachile #tours #patagonia #escaleras #gym #photography #southamerica #arquitectura #fitness #santiagodechile #chilegram

Parque Nacional Pan de Azúcar, in the Atacama desert, one the most arid spots in the world.
CHILE 🇨🇱

The Atacama desert is one of the most arid places in the world, but I can show you that this place is plenty of life and vibrant experiences. Come to Chile and explore this vast national park with 25 different cacti species like the Copiapoa Cinerens, Eulychnia Iquiquensis -also known as Copao- , Copiapoa Columna Alba and many other succulents. Also it would be possible to see Guanacos (Lama Guanicoe) and the Chilean Gray Fox (Lycalopex griseus). #atacama #cactuslovers #cacti #desert #wildlife #nature #chile #cactus #travel #plantas #instachile #landscape #photography #sanpedrodeatacama #cactuschile #southamerica #chilegram #picoftheday #photooftheday #atacamadesert #cactusaddict #succulent #instagood #plants #travelphotography #trip #visitchile #atacamadesert #cactus #atacamadesertchile #cactuslovers #cacti #cactiofinstagram #cactilovers

"Eres un arcoiris de múltiples colores, tú mi Valparaíso puerto principal..."
(Acosta & Salgado, vals)

Al mirar el puerto desde el borde costero se puede apreciar su magnificencia, su belleza y esa luminosidad que siempre lo hace parecer un arcoiris.

"You're like a multiple colors rainbow, you, my Valparaiso the main seaport..."
(Acosta & Salgado, waltz)

When we see this seaport from the seabord, we can appreciate its magnificence, its beauty and such kinda enlightenment that always give it the appearance of a rainbow.

"Nada debiera volver a lo normal.
Lo normal no estaba funcionando.
Si retrocedemos al cómo hicimos las
cosas, no habremos aprendido la
lección.
Podemos crecer y hacerlo mejor."

Spring 🦋 has broken in Casablanca. My heart beats crazily when I see how Mother Nature is doing her most spectacular duty. Today I feel myself totally accomplished. Thanks for the beauty!! 🍇 🍷
