Discover the most traditional highlights of Valparaiso on a tour that gives you a special sense of the atmosphere in this vibrant city. With a look at the unique architecture and style of its multicolored houses spread over 40 hills, you get a look at the famous landmarks that define this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A comfortable air-conditioned van carries you to the slope of Cerro Florida, site of the museum, and former home of Nobel-winning poet Pablo Neruda. From there, a scenic road through the hills offers you some sweeping views of the city and the ocean. When you reach the top of Cerro Concepción, take a walk through the famous Paseo Atkinson and Gervasoni while your guide shares stories from the city's heyday before the opening of the Panama Canal.

Next, descend to Muelle Prat and see Plaza Sotomayor, one of Valparaiso's main squares, with iconic landmarks like the old Custom House and the monument to Chilean war hero Arturo Prat, along with elegant French-style buildings that date back to the 17th century. The tour wraps up with a funicular ride to Paseo 21 de Mayo, where you get a stunning view of the port, and then a stop at Cerro Playa Ancha to visit the Merchant Marine Viewpoint and its fabulous amphitheater facing the Pacific.
