Ride the century-old ascensores (funicular lifts) to Valparaíso's painted cerros, walk alleyways dripping in world-class murals, and lunch on freshly caught locos (Chilean abalone) above the Pacific. A UNESCO-listed port city unlike anywhere on earth.
What to expect
You board a historic funicular from the Barrio Puerto waterfront and ascend to the candy-coloured streets of Cerro Alegre. Your guide interprets the layers of street art — from politically charged murals to intimate tiles — and the city's maritime heritage as a 19th-century trade giant. A leisurely seafood lunch at a clifftop restaurant overlooks the Pacific before you descend to explore the bohemian galleries and antique bookshops of Cerro Concepción. The port of San Antonio is just 30 minutes south, making timing effortless.
Good to know
Valparaíso is 30 minutes from San Antonio port — easily reached by private transfer or taxi (approx. USD 20 each way). Wear comfortable shoes; the cerros involve cobblestones and stairs. Book the private option to guarantee your preferred departure time from the port.
