Ascensor Cordillera, Historical funicular in Valparaíso, Chile.
The Cordillera funicular connects Calle Serrano at street level to Cerro Cordillera through a railway system with two white passenger cabins.
Constructed in 1886 and inaugurated in 1887, this steam-powered funicular became the second vertical transportation system built in Valparaíso.
The funicular received recognition as a Historical Monument of Chile in 1998, joining the list of national monuments in the Valparaíso Region.
Passengers can reach Cerro Cordillera by paying 100 Chilean pesos for the funicular ride or climbing 161 steps along the adjacent staircase.
After undergoing extensive repairs and remaining closed for several years, the funicular resumed its operations in January 2019.
