Cerro Cordillera, Historical hill in Valparaíso, Chile
Cerro Cordillera extends above Barrio Puerto district, with numerous streets and staircases connecting its residential neighborhoods to the city center below.
The San José Castle, constructed between 1682 and 1692, served as the residence for colonial governors and later transformed into an astronomical observatory.
The hill contains European-influenced architecture from the 19th century, reflecting the period when international merchants settled in Valparaíso during its commercial peak.
Visitors can access the hill via the Cordillera Elevator, built in 1886, or climb the Cienfuegos Staircase to reach Plaza Eleuterio Ramírez.
The lower section of Cerro Cordillera forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage designation, featuring the second oldest funicular system in the city.
