The painted cerros, the lifts that climb them, the working port below and the coast and vineyards on either side. Every guided way to reach them is listed with city tour valparaiso chile.

The first frames are the hills: house fronts in yellow, blue and oxblood stacked up the slope, a tall timber house on the lip of a cerro with the container cranes far below, a quiet paseo of pastel walls, and a painted portrait covering a gable end. A funicular car sits on its incline between them, which is how most of these streets are reached.

Then the port. Cruise ships alongside the passenger quay, harbour launches tied up under the cranes, fishing boats in front of a naval vessel, and the whole bay seen from a viewpoint up in the hills. The sea lions and pelicans that work the fish piers have their own frames.

The last frames leave the city: the rocky coast north toward Zapallar, the offshore stack of Isla Cachagua with its Humboldt penguin colony, the Reloj de Flores and Castillo Wulff at Viña del Mar, and the vineyard rows and barrel halls of the Casablanca Valley.
