Tour description:

Valparaíso has the form of a natural amphitheater facing the sea where most of the city hangs from the hills in a chaotic harmony and with tangible and intangible heritage embodied in customs and traditions of the particular lifestyle of the “porteño” (inhabitant of Valparaíso).
On this walking tour, we will be able to visit attractions of great architectural and historical interest, Alegre and Concepción hills with their strolls and viewpoints full of stories of foreign immigrants that arrived to Valparaíso when this important Port was considered “The Jewel of The Pacific Ocean” (before Panamá Canal).
