Valparaíso

One of the most colourful and populated regions in Chile is the Valparaiso one. Situated in the central part of the country and not too far from Santiago, the Valparaiso region is known for the charming and fascinating beauty of its capital, Valparaiso....

It has busy cerros (the hills) populated by many houses, mansions and terraces; narrow, steep and convoluted streets that penetrate the city till its very heart; countless artists and powerful street-art. Being one of the most important ports in South America, Valparaiso has always been attracting many people: historically because of its position at sea and nowadays because of its captivating culture and atmosphere. Often considered an area with a real pulsing heart and a deep soul, Valparaiso is very unique in the whole Chilean territory and ‘a place that people fall in love with’, as the locals say, usually making their stay longer than what they initially planned.
