A two-hour bus ride from Santiago de Chile takes you to Valparaíso, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Chile’s oldest port city. Its rich history dates back to the 16th century, when it served as a major stop for ships travelling between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Today, Valpo is a cultural centre that attracts artists and art enthusiasts from all around the world.
Stroll up and down the steep streets through the colorful staircases, or take one of the historic funicular elevators that are still in operation if you feel lazy. Then enjoy this free open-air museum, unlike any other: a mosaic of artworks that cover every vertical surface.
