Throughout the history of this Port City, the inhabitants saw the possibility of being located on this hill that was born as a fort to protect themselves from pirats and corsairs. When the port sector zone was almost completely occupied, the immigrants began to populate this hill with houses using the usual architecture of their countries, mainly European. That generated a cool sector of structures that are preserved until today, in a unique and magical, heritage and Chilean mix. The best viewpoints, miradors and alleys are here and in these streets the richest cultural activities converge, surrounded by the best gastronomy. Come and enjoy with us! This experience is unforgettable!
This major port city - “Valpo” for short - was once one of the richest cities of South America known as the “Jewel of the Pacific” and “Little San Francisco” given the many physical similarities. It was the major port on the Pacific coast of South America, a mandatory stopover for ships heading to Asia. Then the Panama Canal opened in 1914, ships no longer had to round Cape Horn and refuel at Valparaiso. The city declined and struggled for almost 100 years to remain relevant. It has only just begun to reassert itself in the past 15 years thanks to the opening of several universities and the legalization of street art in recent decades. Street art / graffiti became a form of expression and political protest during the Augusto Pinochet regime of the 1970s and 1980s. With the restoration of democracy the Valparaiso government made the practice legal even supporting and employing some street artists. Private establishments - hotels, restaurants, stores - hired artists to paint on their buildings or artists could offer their services to them. You could certainly wander Cerro ( "Cerro" means "Hill") Concepcion or any of the other neighborhoods famous for their street art on your own. We felt it was definitely worth hiring for their insight into the history of the city and its art. Of course the street art is the attraction, some of which is frivolous and much sociopolitical in inspiration. Nevertheless the harbor, the ships, and the surrounding hills were inspiring. There were a lot of restaurants to choose from and stores to browse through.

This 12km ocean drive is speckled with lighthouses and sea lions.
Costanera is an interesting road which runs along the coast of Viña Del Mar, thus allowing for some great scenic views of the Pacific Ocean on one side and several interesting buildings on the other. Certainly would recommend traveling on this road to any tourist.

This is the only "true" elevator in Valparaíso. Others are technically funicular. Opened since 1913 and still working.

We have a penguin lover among us and they really wanted to check off this last land-based without going to antarctica or a research island species from their list. There was a boat trip option, but it comes not from the beach, but around the 'corner' and it is lengthy and really rough in the swells even on a calm day. You can't go on the island, so your option for closer photos (if you can hold on to your camera) is bouncing up and down in the waves! Definitely not for those prone to motion sickness! We opted for digiscoping with our binoculars and phone from the nearby beach, which is lovely in itself and came out with some discernible photos...although it's not the Falklands! Our stop here was part of the pirates, penguins, and alpaca tour offered by Chile Dreams, which we highly recommend!

Just getting to the entrance of this funicular is interesting. For next to nothing, you are rewarded with a fun ride to the promontory of the Yugoslavo Walk, an interesting neighborhood with an expansive view of the city and its harbor. We walked the nearby neighborhood really enjoying the street art but did not have enough time to visit the Art Museum nor maybe have a coffee at the little café overlooking the city. Give yourself that time and I am sure you will enjoy this area even more.

Great fun, do the free walking tour and you'll do this, a part of South American history! I'd happily recommend this to anyone.
