Valparaiso thumbed

To begin, an anecdote: walking

Cerro Concepción for a year ago with my 15 years. In a moment a tour guide with his group in front of the Lutheran Church . The guide tells passengers the church and says you are currently facing the Anglican Church .

My Daughter: What the hell. Dad! That is not the Anglican church. Come on, say something, correct it, is wrong.

Obviously I did not. My professional ethics prevent me from intervening in the work of a respected colleague, even if in error. Also, the data does not remain in the memories of past passenger seat aircraft.

Now things change when it institutionalizes information and look bad light and even more, it appears in a program of national television.

Consider the following video.


some time that Valparaiso is fashionable. Films and documentaries are made in the city, but some of them are done without a preliminary investigation. This phenomenon is attacking the inhabitants of Valparaiso. This newly discovered city look, in many cases the capital city, is offensive because Valparaiso is in the same place since 1536 and the locals know every detail of the city.

I have no idea if this program "City Tour" dedicated to Valparaiso, has been aired or when it was his presentation. It is likely that months ago. However, not too late to launch this review and present some points which I think should not happen again.

is striking, for example, that this section of the program, posted to my blog, the characters, the scholar and architect Federico Sanchez and animator Marcelo Comparini journalist, you see an information kiosk and local tour and talk to them have copied them and that their program is a benchmark. He then discusses the place from Plaza Aníbal Pinto at a party a breach of information regarding the artist Lukas House which located in the Paseo Yugoslav being found in the hotel Gervasoni and Syndicated Brighton recovery of an old house, when in fact a new house built following the Victorian sector parameters.

The kiosk belongs to Franco said property Jaime Tours Lanfranco. I know and respect. I've been working a long time in the company and its concept and making their tours with passion and commitment.

not just him. There are several small companies that are seriously dedicated to gather information and prepare them critically to deliver this. Companies like Link Tourism and the dean of all of us working Tours Bohemia in the city since the time Comparini Marcelo made his television debut in Youth Extra program.

It seems odd that a television program takes the contents on a tour of Valparaiso without any preliminary investigation. More even if one of the animators is an architect by training, must favor the previous investigation. It is understood that the concept of the program is light and entertaining, where the actors have a greater focus on performance rather than shown. That the information given should not be academic but bearable and almost humorous however, this affects me lightness of content.

phenomenon that exists in the city where many are coming and some guiding without having much idea where it favors a lighter look at speaking without a backup, often violating the locals who know their city and details that have formed.

In Valparaiso there are many characters that could have led to an entertaining and humorous and at the same time, providing the right details, look accurate and the data accordingly.

Samuel Leon, Ingrid Marín, the same Jaime Lanfranco, all locals, all of Valparaiso, knowledgeable, informed, prepared, for those Valparaiso is not just a collection of anecdotes of funny things, but that identity is a wonder to behold and studied to share this information and stare at the right time.

This is not a minor detail. For the locals can not we change the coordinates. We know our city. A remarkable moment in this program is when the hyperventilated architect Plaza Sotomayor said about the dialogue of architectural styles in the industry, but has no idea if Arturo Prat is buried at the monument to the heroes of Iquique and speaks of a ship buried under the monument . At that time Buenos Aires talk to a passerby who explains in a short and precise how far the sea front and provides a degree of truthful information.


is very easy to come to hyperventilate at Valparaiso, in fact we ourselves often goes walking every day for our city, but our passion has led to the investigation. We have taken seriously the fact of living in Valparaiso.

time ago I remember a cartoon series about a superhero Chile Buenos Aires "Cat." Also at the capital's serial appeared this look where it drew a Valparaiso, where the sea appeared behind the church when originally Matrix is \u200b\u200bin front of the church and We drew houses and alleys for us locals, it just was not Valparaíso. Also at that time was not investigated, not consulted, did not seek a cartoonist of the city as Juan Carlos Cabezas "JUCC" , which is really able to design spaces Buenos Aires with his eyes closed. These programs are made with good intention, but we are not considered and we are not taken seriously.

From these videos uploaded to the blog can be accessed with a click on them to Youtube channel where you can appreciate the saga of this program concerning Valparaiso. In all cases the uncertainties are huge, look at all the light goes on to give realize this vision almost folk people have of us. So much so that even the sensitive issue of lifts is taken without any prior information. ( See chapter Avenue Argentina and trolleybuses). Also I noticed they all work to clarify the information leaving relevant comments to try to just fill in something this lack of journalistic rigor.

What remains clear is precisely this vision of the capital. Is evident as we see and therefore why not take us seriously. We have become a curiosity, an event for the zoo, where everyone will see through monkey inadvertently know what they are observing the specimen.

Chilean TV boasts little content and all Chileans sleep in the Soma of the nonsense on television. Greet their players in the street, are entertaining, are congratulated for their thanks, not realizing that they are not taken seriously and that they bumble their referents without any delicacy of previous research and serious.

In my opinion they can do whatever they please with their programs, however, when it comes to Valparaiso, I would demand more respect. With its history as a city unique in the world for its identity and above all, its people.

I leave to end, a beautiful video of Pascuala Ilabaca. This is Valparaiso
