Valparaíso

Valparaíso, one of Chile’s most enchanting cities, is a captivating blend of hills, colors, culture, and energy that immerses you in its distinctive atmosphere. Join us in exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site alongside locals, and gain a truly unique perspective of this vibrant city

Exploring Valparaíso is an essential part of your visit to Central Chile.

In these areas, you'll discover what we like to call "outdoor canvases" – vast spaces where street art intertwines with history, creating a captivating tapestry of culture.

But our exploration doesn't end there. We also collaborate with local tour operators to provide experiences in some of the city's most off-the-beaten-path areas, including Cordillera, Espíritu Santo, and Baron hills. Join us as we delve deeper into the heart and soul of Valparaíso, uncovering hidden gems and uncovering the true essence of this vibrant city.
