Valparaíso is Chile's historic port city, a UNESCO site built on 42 hills wired together by century-old funiculars (ascensores). Ships dock at the cruise terminal on the edge of downtown, with the hill neighborhoods of Cerro Concepción and Cerro Alegre a short funicular ride away. Street art, boutique hotels, and sweeping Pacific views make it one of South America's most photogenic calls. SCL airport is 90 minutes inland.
