Description
Explore the hills of Valparaiso: ride iconic funiculars, wander through alleyways adorned with murals, and enjoy scenic overlooks of the bay. Culture, architecture, and street art in one tour.
Valparaíso is not just a city: it is a natural amphitheater overlooking the Pacific, where hills, colors, and history come together on every corner. On this tour, you will discover the essence of Valparaíso by visiting its most iconic viewpoints and riding on century-old funiculars, true gems from the industrial era that connect the city below with the bohemian life of the hills.
Riding funiculars like El Peral or Reina Victoria is part of the experience: feeling their wood and steel as you rise above the rooftops takes you back in time. Amidst stairways, alleys, and narrow streets, you will explore an open-air art gallery featuring world-class murals and graffiti, all while learning about architecture, design, and UNESCO-recognized heritage. Ideal for lovers of culture, photography, and unforgettable views of the bay.
