Wonderful!

Let us transport back to the pre-first world war of 1910, with British imperial power, influence and arrogance at its apex........

“Lord Buckingham: I say Carothers, these chilly people aren’t so bad. Let’s make them a gift. A cricket ground perhaps?

Carothers: Sir, we didn’t exactly conquer the Chileans, so they don’t play cricket. May I suggest something useful, such as a school or a hospital?

Lord Buckingham: Good lord, what are you thinking about Carothers? What they really need is a damned good statue of Queen Victoria.

This is a lovely arch, but it’s not very well kept, which is a shame, as its one of the few places built by the English. If they removed the graffiti it would be really nice. The park itself is lovely. Its worth a visit if you are in Valparaiso.
