This cabin is larger than usual inside cabin.  We really appreciated the space on a 16 day cruise.  It is roomy, clean and in good repair.  I like that it is center and bottom of the ship, which helps to avoid seasickness in rough seas.  It can not be reached by the front elevator, since the front of deck 4 are crew cabins.

Mar Adentro Peru is a short distance from the point outside the port where the port buses drop you off.  Take a taxi (cost $5) to the Marina Club Del Callao/Submarine Museum Abtao.  For $45, they take you on a 2 1/2 hour boat ride out to the Palomino Island, where there is a large rookery of sea lions.  Along the way, they will come close to islands where you will see Humboldt penguins and many birds.  Once at the sea lion rookery, the tour operator will provide you with a wet suit if you want to get in the water with the sea lions. The water is at first so cold, but after 5 minutes, we had gotten used to the cold water. The sealions swim and jump nearby. The young sea lions come close out of curiosity. It was awesome!! The tour was very good and the operators very friendly.  They spoke both Spanish and English.  Great tour

We did the Villa Lapas Skybridge Tour with Ricky Ricardo tours.  We first stopped to see the monkeys, which took banana pieces right from our hands.  We stopped by a wonderful overview at a restaurant and then went on the skybridge walk.  Nice hike. Not difficult. It's dry, no bugs, but lots of stairs and uneven surfaces.  Take the walking sticks at the trails beginning.  They are helpful where there are sandy surfaces. We had a delicious lunch. Then we took an optional part of the tour, to a boat which took you on the river to see crocodiles and many, many birds.  The river guide's knowledge was impressive!!  We also stopped to see medicinal plants and to shop.  Excellent tour!

We walked through residential streets and through the more touristic spots in the old city. It was extremely hot and humid.  We stopped by to see the Fortress of San Felipe, but did not go up in it and lastly we went up to La Popa.  It was interesting, but just too hot.

First, the cruise was out of San Antonio, Chile, not Valparaiso, but Cruise Critic doesn't allow me to put that in as the port of embarkation, as they don't have San Antonio, Chile  listed.They really did a great job, picking us up inside the port.
