But here´s a list of things to do as a couple to paint the town red.

  • 1. New Years Eve fireworks along the Valparaiso Coast, Chile.

    Bring in the New Year with fireworks on a South American sandy beach at midnight. Get up early and stake out a place somewhere along the coast of Valparaiso or Vina Del Mar.
