Main Info:
Our Valparaiso Walking tour takes you to discover the ancient port of Valparaiso, it’s culture, street art and history on this amazing Hiking tour by some of its most picturesque hills, experiencing riding on their unique funicular railways. Learn about the most emblematic buildings, main squares, old bars and taste the world known sea food and fish from the Pacific Ocean.
In 2003, Valparaíso was named a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, somewhat re-awakening its economy through tourism. The vibrant colors, lifts, restaurants, artisan shops, and endless stairs attract tourists and, recently, luxury cruise ships to the port town.
Valparaíso, located on central Chile’s Pacific Coast, was first inhabited by the fishing and gathering natives, Changos, until the arrival of Spanish explorers in 1536. It soon became the first and most important main port for international trade and a required stopover for all ships crossing between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans via the Strait of Magellan and Cape Horn.
Visit the open air museum; a pioneering initiative in Chile and is made up of 20 murals of various pictorial styles; located on the slopes of Cerro Bellavista. It was inaugurated in 1992 and you can see artwork by well-known artists, some of whom are world famous, such as Roberto Matta or Mario Carreño, among others.
This tour starts from Santiago every day of the week on request, so we invite you to book our Valparaiso Walking Tour – info@ecotours.cl
