Carved into Valparaíso’s 43 hills are five neighborhoods painted in a kaleidoscope of colors. The picturesque buildings are connected by a labyrinth of narrow alleys, steep staircases and century-old funiculars. The Historic District is shaped like a giant amphitheater with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean seaport. Valpo, as the local porteños call their city, was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003.
