About This Tour

A private 2-hour walking tour starting at Aníbal Pinto Heritage Square, riding Valparaíso's historic funicular elevators and exploring the colorful promenades, churches and street art of the city's UNESCO World Heritage core. This short private walk is built around Valparaíso's real historic core rather than a rushed drive-by. Your guide starts at Aníbal Pinto Heritage Square and leads you through the city's historic funicular elevators (ascensores), colorful promenades and hillside neighborhoods, pointing out the murals and street art that cover entire building facades along the way.

Valparaíso's historic quarter has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 2003. The city grew as a major Pacific port before the Panama Canal, and its steep hills are linked by ascensores, historic elevators, of which about sixteen survive. The oldest, Ascensor Concepción, has run since 1883.

The ascensores were built mainly in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries so residents and port workers could climb the hills. Most are technically funiculars, and riding one is the easiest way to understand how the city's layout works.

Murals cover entire facades along the hillside streets, and Valparaíso's street-art tradition is part of its identity today. Your guide can point out which works are commissioned and which are informal.
