Ascensor Larraín, Historical funicular in Valparaíso, Chile.
The Larraín funicular connects Argentina Avenue with Cerro Larraín through a vertical track extending 68 meters with a 39.3-degree incline.
Constructed in 1909, this transportation system received recognition as a Historical Monument of Chile by decree number 866 in September 1998.
The funicular represents the engineering solutions developed in Valparaíso to address the transportation needs between the port area and elevated neighborhoods.
The lower station stands on Coronel Reina Street between Argentina Avenue and Pedro Montt, while the upper station sits on Hermanos Clark Street.
The funicular system includes rails secured with crossties along the hillside, passing through natural vegetation with a capacity of 12 passengers.
