A Chunk of Chile with a Dash of South America

Living and travelling in South America from our base in Chile since 1997. I have personally experienced the extremes here, living in a shed without a bathroom in a poor dangerous part of town to the other extreme of having an elegant dinner with the President at the palace. This blog is about things that I have done or that have caught my attention here as well as travel information that may be useful.

Street of Sighs in Colonia



One of the most photographed parts of Colonia del Sacramento is the Calle de los Suspiros literally translated as The Street of Sighs.

The street lamp in the photo to the left is typical of the old part of the city as is the blue and white sign naming the street which is made out of tiles.


To see more photos and to discover out possible theories as to why it is called this, check out our Street of Sighs page.
