Free Tour: The Port City, Arts, Murals & Funicular
Overview of the tour in Valparaiso
Important! We use blue badges for easy recognition. Don't be confused with the red umbrella or Wally (red and white striped shirt), who belong to another company and will take you on another tour. You can access Wifi at Melbourne Café or Starbucks. The tour starts at Muelle Prat, from where we will walk to the square to compare old photos of Valparaíso with how it looks today. Then, we will take the El Peral funicular to go up to the hills.
Travelers will be able to enjoy a panoramic view while using this means of transport built at the beginning of the 20th century. You will learn the stories of the Concepción and Alegre hills, visiting old places between narrow streets that will immerse you in the cultural atmosphere of a bohemian city.
You will enjoy street art, colonial houses, and the cultural interventions in public spaces that keep local traditions alive. Restaurants, cafes, art galleries, artists, and souvenir shops will offer you special moments and unique memories of a charming city.
