Valparaiso is a must see for any visitor to Chile. A UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the first Chilean cities founded by the Spanish, Valparaiso was the most important Pacific South American sea port for centuries until the inauguration of the Panama Canal. In its Golden Age, the city was a thriving hub of high society, culture, and European influence. Today, those historic elements are mixed with quirky, bohemian cafes, artists’ workshops, and street art to create a city full of character and with surprises at every turn. You will explore the historic downtown sector, and then century-old hillside ascensores (elevators) will transport you up into the city’s steep hills, where a labyrinthine maze of streets reveals brightly coloured buildings, hidden cafes and elegant restaurants, and spectacular views of the harbour below. Your tour will lead you on foot through two of the most famous and eclectic neighbourhoods, Cerro Concepción and Cerro Alegre. In addition, you will visit one of Pablo Neruda's three homes-turned-museums, La Sebastiana. In the late afternoon you will be transported back to your hotel in Santiago.

Please note: La Sebastiana Museum is closed on Monday and Tuesday
