Tour description

Visit Valparaiso and fall in love with this city, that was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Valparaiso is in the shape of a natural amphitheater facing the sea; almost the whole city hangs from the hills. Climb to Cerro Florida where we can appreciate the House-Museum of Neruda (Nobel Prize for Literature 1971 (entry ticket not included).
Then, we continue along the road called Camino Cintura through the hills, appreciating the scenic landscape, picturesque buildings, narrow streets and endless scales ranging from mountain to sea. We will visit the viewpoints / boardwalks Atkinson and Gervasoni, places that are full of history of foreign immigrants who came to Valparaiso when this major port was considered "The Jewel of the Pacific" (before the
opening of the Panama Canal). We will go down to ‘‘the plan’’ to visit the traditional Muelle Prat and the Esplanade of the Plaza Sotomayor, reminiscent of the heroes of Iquique and the Pacific War. We get into one of his typical elevators to get to 21 de Mayo and visit its magnificent viewpoint. We continue up the Playa Ancha Hill, to go to Mirador Marina Mercante and admire this fabulous amphitheater facing the Pacific.
