Valparaíso, Port city and legislative capital in central Chile
The urban landscape spreads across 42 hills, connecting different levels with funicular railways, elevators, stairways, and winding roads along the Pacific coast.
Founded in 1536 by Juan de Saavedra, Valparaíso developed into a major stopover point for ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans via Magellan Strait.
The National Congress of Chile conducts legislative sessions in Valparaíso, while the city maintains Latin America's oldest stock exchange and Spanish language newspaper.
The container port handles most of Chile's imports through its facilities, with an adjacent commercial district featuring banks, markets, and shopping centers.
The historic quarter, designated as UNESCO World Heritage in 2003, contains a network of narrow alleys, colorful buildings, and street art across multiple elevation levels.
