Visit Valparaíso
Valparaiso is a port city located on the Chilean coast, approximately 75 miles northwest of Santiago. It is well-known for its colorful hillsides and unique street art, making it an attractive tourist destination. Valparaiso was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003.
One of the most popular places to visit in Valparaiso is La Sebastiana, a home converted into a museum by Pablo Neruda, one of Chile's most notable poets and Nobel Prize laureates. Tourists can also enjoy exploring the vibrant alleyways and staircases that make up Cerro Alegre, one of Valparaiso's most picturesque neighborhoods.
An interesting fact about Valparaiso is that in 1814 it became the first city in Chile to declare independence from Spain. This declaration was signed off by Lord Cochrane, who would later become known as "the Father of Chilean Navy" after helping win Chile's naval war against Spain ten years prior.
