Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Valparaíso
Always carry coins for funiculars - no cards or large bills accepted. 300-1000 pesos per ride
Never leave belongings in rental cars - rental vehicles are frequent theft targets, especially in Valparaíso
Explore Cerro Alegre and Concepción on foot - the best street art, cafes, and galleries are here
Book La Sebastiana tour (Pablo Neruda house) in advance - tickets sell out fast, especially on weekends
Check for auto-added 10-15% tip on restaurant bills. You can ask to have it removed if you prefer
Beware of the liquid spill scam - someone spills on you then steals your belongings while pretending to help
