Valparaíso
Valparaíso is built on more than forty hills above a working port, with houses in mismatched colours, stairways between streets and Victorian-era funiculars still running. The UNESCO-listed quarter covers Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción. It pairs with the vineyards of the Casablanca valley on the way from Santiago.
