The most touristic hills, but also the most cared and entertaining to my taste are Cerro Alegre and Concepción. The most visited places in Valparaíso are the Barrio Puerto, where you can find the port, the Senate and the Naval and Maritime Museum, the Municipal of Fine Arts. There is a pyrotechnic show in more than 10 points in the bay, which continue even beyond Viña del Mar, being one of the largest in the country and South America, which marvels all who have lived this event in the area.Īlso unforgettable are the carnivals and the unforgettable Feast of the Thousand Drums that take place in the port. If you are in this area for year-end, living a New Year’s Eve in Valparaiso is an experience to live at least once in your life. Put on your more comfortable shoes, because you’re going to walk a lot and keep in mind that in the mornings and afternoons it can become chilly and windy even in summer. Valparaíso has a somewhat complicated layout to walk through, is located between the Pacific Ocean and the hills, so when walking around is a good idea to organize the route in advance not to walk more than its necessary. Walking and living for a few hours at the rhythm of the port will make your mind see with other eyes, colors, smells and sensations very different from those you will live in other places in Chile. In summer there are several cruises that arrive with tourists eager to discover its streets and taste the seafood delights. Unique architecture and location have declared Valparaíso’s city center a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. It has 95 national monuments and about 42 hills around the bay. The city develops between the Plan and the Hills, between land and sea, giving life to a vibrant and very entertaining city to visit. Are you on Instagram?

The city of Valparaiso is full of colorful corners, photogenic walls, gastronomy, and culture, so it’s worthwhile to take the time to walk it, slowly, take the time to feel the pulse of a port that never sleeps. There’s a reason why is called The Jewel of the Pacific. Valparaíso is undoubtedly one of the most unique and interesting cities to visit in central Chile. Check out the catch of the day, I would have tried it if I hadn’t eaten salmon earlier.The must visit and best things to do in Valparaiso in a short visit Definitely worth a visit for the tasty bites. Our table was one of few that were speaking English. Do enjoy the views and I’m surprised this place wasn’t over run by tourists. Overall, don’t expect the swiftest service. My girlfriend ordered a beef dish with potatoes and I marveled at her that you never order meat at a seafood oriented place, and even they nailed the beef just right. I would never have thought of mixing the two, but they’re that odd couple that you don’t think would work out but actually are perfect for each other. The main course I ordered was a mix of quinoa with grilled shrimp baked in. We split an appetizer, of cheese, tomatoes, bread and onions on a little pan grill and it was supremely delicious. I had a local craft beer, which was surprisingly good given Chile’s not so stellar reputation in this department (great wine and pisco though). The food and drink more than made up for it though. The service was a bit slow at first, we probably didn’t order for at least 10 – 15 minutes. I think as a tourist, there’s nothing like seeing a panorama on your first night of a city. Our table was right on the edge of the indoor space so we had an excellent view of both Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar. The restaurant is partially indoors and partially outdoors. 25 cents) fee for the view alone! On to the review. The area is next to one of the oldest funiculars (Queen Victoria) in town. Came here on the recommendation of one of the owners of our Inn.
