The city
What to expect from Valparaíso.
Valparaíso is Chile's main port and the capital of the region that bears its name. The city rises from the sea up dozens of cerros, with colorful houses, stairways and old funiculars. The cerros Alegre and Concepción, with Palacio Baburizza, are the gateway. On Cerro Bellavista are La Sebastiana, Neruda's house, and Museo a Cielo Abierto. Down below, Plaza Sotomayor, Muelle Prat and Paseo 21 de Mayo showcase the bay and the naval history.
