EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the scenic coastal drive from Valparaiso to Vina del Mar, Chile, circa 1920s. The image showcases the picturesque Reco tramline, a vital mode of transportation during that era, as it winds its way along the edge of the rugged cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The double-decker trams, with their distinctive red and cream livery, transport passengers along the Reco highway, connecting the bustling port city of Valparaiso with the elegant suburb of Vina del Mar. Valparaiso, known for its vibrant culture and historic architecture, is seen in the background with its colorful houses cascading down the hillsides, while the clear blue waters of the bay shimmer in the foreground. The tranquil seaside resort of Vina del Mar, with its sandy beaches and palm-lined promenades, beckons in the distance. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and unique character of Chile's coastline, which has long attracted travelers from around the world. The tramline, a relic of a bygone era, adds an intriguing layer of depth to the story of this stunning coastal drive. The image invites us to imagine the experiences of those early travelers as they navigated the winding roads and breathtaking vistas, taking in the beauty and charm of Chile's coastal gems.
