The experience

Valparaíso was the South Pacific's most important port in the nineteenth century, and the tour walks you through the evidence: the narrow streets, endless stairs and historic funiculars that earned it World Heritage status. You'll see the colorful houses stacked on Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción, the viewpoints and murals that make the city's crazy architecture unmissable. The guide leads a small group through these ancient streets, so you move at a pace that lets you actually look.

From there the route moves to Viña del Mar, a city that grew from vineyards planted on land an engineer named José Francisco Vergara mapped out in the 1870s. You stroll through the beaches and stop in Reñaca to feel the sea breeze before heading back. The whole day runs in an air-conditioned vehicle, and the shared pickup from the cruise port means you don't arrange separate transport.
