Cerros & Funiculars
Valparaíso's colorful hills with historic funiculars are the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage port city. Sixteen historical elevators - some dating to 1883 - connect the lower city to bohemian hillside neighborhoods. Ride the oldest Ascensor Concepción to Paseo Gervasoni for panoramic views, then wander narrow alleys filled with painted houses, street art, and charming cafes. Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción are most popular with visitors, offering the best concentration of murals, boutique hotels, and restaurants with bay views.
