Tour description
We will discover the oldest neighborhood of Valparaíso and point of historical origin of this Chilean port city and why Valparaíso is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We begin in Plaza Sotomayor recognizing its architecture and stories that shaped this square built on the sea during the 19th century. We will take the historic lifts of Cerro Concepción, Cerro Alegre and Cerro Cordillera, contrasting the area most visited by tourists with the most important "porteños" hill in the social history of Valparaíso and Chile, to this day the main working-class neighborhood of the port overlooking the La Matriz church, the oldest in the city. Finally we will visit the port neighborhood, part of the UNESCO site and point of origin of the city that maintains until today the traditional local "porteño" life, including the oldest bar-canteen in the port, music made in Valparaíso, old commerce and famous "picás" (popular restaurants) around "Plaza Echaurren", the oldest square in Valparaíso. Of course, en route you will discover colorful and artistic murals and graffiti of the "porteño" street art. We end the tour at the renovated Mercado Puerto (local market building) with suggestions for you to continue getting to know Valparaíso.
Welcome to live the Ecomapu Experience!

This is a very balanced tour in that you’ll get to see both the richer/fancier and poorer sides of Valparaiso. The tour is very personal and Raul is very fun! He will share a lot of the history and you’ll see both great city views of the houses and nice graffiti art

Magdalena es una excelente guia, seria y profesional (no necesita hacerse la simpatica y no contar chistes para cumplir con su roll como la mayoria de sus colegas)
