Valparaíso is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its steep hillsides covered in brightly painted houses and a maze of winding streets. Visitors explore the open-air galleries of murals and graffiti, ride century-old funiculars for panoramic views, and soak in the creative atmosphere of its cafes, bookstores, and artisan markets. The port bustles below while artists and poets have long found inspiration in its chaotic charm.

Don't miss

  • Ride the Ascensor Concepción funicular for sweeping views of the bay
  • Wander Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción for street art and colorful architecture
  • Visit La Sebastiana, Pablo Neruda's quirky hilltop home
