Valparaíso was an important port, a relevant commercial and logistic hub in the South Pacific Ocean. However, due to the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 and the earthquakes and fires that affected the port at the beginning of the XX century, Valparaíso lost its leading position. Nowadays, this city has reinvented itself because it was listed as World Heritage by UNESCO; thus, tourism and Chilean boosting economy have helped to its recovery. New hotels, restaurants, art workshops and colorful murals have restored its vitality and colors. Moreover, it’s recently became the South American capital of Street Art.

Because of Valparaíso’s unique geography, the houses and buildings are built climbing up and perching on the hills and surrounding gorges. This labyrinthine verticality creates thousands of hideouts, and we can find more than one surprise behind every corner. In our tour by foot and public transportation, we will walk around Plaza Echaurren, the Port founding area, the old banking area and Cerros Concepción and Alegre, where most of the artisan workshops and art galleries are located. We will also admire the beautiful views of the Valparaíso Bay in contrast to its colorful hills from different viewpoints. We will get there in their particular elevators and also make use of the old trolleybuses to move around.
