Paradise Valley also known as Valparaiso is 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, this attracted immigrants from England, Germany, Italy, and France, among others.

The influence of the immigrants is highly reflected in the architecture and identity of the city. 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.
