Plaza Victoria in Valparaiso
Hello
My husband and I are disembarking a cruise ship at Valparaiso on Sunday 30th March and would like take a sight seeing tour of Valparaiso and possibly Santiago and then be taken to the Airport to catch a flight leaving for London at 18.45 pm. The boat docks early in the morning. We would be happy to go alone or be joined by other persons.
Thank you, Frances
VT has several pages of good tips on Valparaiso. But, from what I understand, the journey from Valparaiso is not a short one. Are you prepared to rent a car and travel for many hours or days to reach Santiago?
No, we do not wish to hire a car. We would like to go either with a small group or on our own with a driver. We will have two large cases and two small cases with us, as we need to be taken to the Airport at Santiago at the completion of the tour to arrive at 16.00 pm.. Are there taxis at the Terminal for Cruise Ships, who could perhaps undertake this tour and approximately how much would they charge? Look forward to your reply. thanks Frances
Probably the best way to go would be to take a bus. The first class bus lines in Chile are reported to be very good, and will be surprisingly cheap for you as well. Valparaiso is not a huge city, so finding the bus terminal will be easy.
Nice reply Michael. It's a bit rainy in Valparaiso, isn't it?
Make sure to get up into the hills to see the Valparaiso skyline. The houses climbing up the hills are like a stone age staircase worn down by weather over hundreds of year and millions of feet. Ascensor Baron is one of the better viewing points.
Was one of the last houses of Pablo Neruda, Novel prize of Literature 1971, has a spectacular view of the bay of Valparaiso.....wow what an inspiration
Fue una de las últimas casas de Pablo Neruda, premio Novel de literatura 1971. Tiene una vista espectacular a la bahía de Valparaíso…..que inspiración wow
Head for the Brighton B&B near Ascensor Concepcion. There is not only an area to have a drink overlooking the city but also a gorgeous area for relaxing in front of the ocean. A perfect location to enjoy.
La Sebastiana is one of the Pablo Neruda houses you can find in Chile. It is a worthy visit if you are in the area – from an artistic point of view: The house and the town resemble each other.
The city is an important port that lies just next to a mountain range. The streets of the town are very intricate, small, steep streets and there are several town operated elevators to move people from one level to the other.
The house itself resembles the town. Very tall house, about five or six levels, all small, low ceilings, with narrow passages, and each room decorated in a very particular, tastefull, and artistic way.
Other people bought the house after Neruda’s death. Subsequently, a preservation society has bought and restored the house to be shown to the public (for a nominal fee). You can reach the house by bus or taxi, but certainly not at walking distance from the touristic areas in town.
Horario: Martes a Viernes: 10:30 - 14:00 hrs. / Sábado, Domingo y Festivos: horario continuado 10:30 a 18:00 hrs. (Enero y Febrero horario continuado hasta las 18:50 hrs.)
Valor Entrada: $1.800 /
Now classified as a national monument, this old British-built lift, which ascends a distance of 175 metres, has chugged up and down the hill bearing the same name since 1893. Originally coal-powered, the two passenger carriages are fitted with ample windows, offering a panoramic view of the ocean, and the rather chaotic array of buildings that grace the surrounding hillsides. The upper station leads on to Paseo 21 de Mayo, one of the city's most emblematic and picturesque streets. A ticket for the lift costs CLF 120 to ascend, and CLF 100 to come back down again.
A breathtaking experience, don't miss it!!!
We even had a special experience:
on our way to the ascensor we were stopped by two policemen, who told us, that we were in serious danger walking there all by ourselves. When we told them, that we wanted to see the ascensor, one of the policemen escorted us there to make sure, that we were not robbed!!! I was truly touched!
