The jewel of the Pacific Ocean

Valparaíso, a World Heritage Site, is an unmissable destination for its culture, nightlife, and proximity to Santiago. Among the attractions of this picturesque port city, Cerros Alegre and Concepción stand out for their cobblestone streets, colorful houses, and art galleries.

Its charm is such that every corner is an open-air canvas, inviting you to explore a unique city in the world. Ride its historic elevators, such as Reina Victoria and El Peral, for spectacular views of the bay. And you can’t miss La Sebastiana, the house museum of the poet Pablo Neruda, which offers a fascinating insight into his life and work.
