Valparaíso Overview
V!VA User‘s Description
A South American city with a special character, Valparaíso is located on the central Chilean coast, at 33.5° latitude south, 120 km to the northwest of Santiago. Colorful houses are distributed over numerous hills, connected by winding streets and long stairways. This unique architectural inheritance has led to the UNESCO World Heritage status for the core of the city.
A series of historic funicular railways, known as "ascensors", lead you up from this downtown to the upper part of town and the residential quarters of the city. Valparaíso is also thought of as the cultural capital of Chile hosting numerous events such as concerts, theatre, and poetry readings. Old port pubs, tango bars and “salsotheques” enrich the nightlife.
