Funicular Tour of Valparaiso

We'll pick you up from your accommodation at the indicated time, before starting our very special tour of Valparaiso. The Chilean city is famous for its funicular railways that run up the hillsides. We'll explore the different neighbourhoods in these historic elevators.

During the tour, you'll hear all about the origins of this fascinating form of public transport and, of course, we'll have the opportunity to climb on one of the oldest in Valparaiso. We'll visit Barrio Puerto and Cerro Cordillera with its Cordillera and San Agustin funiculars. You'll be amazed to see them crawling up and down the hillside!

Next, we'll go to Cerro Alegre with its famous Concepción elevator, the first one to be inaugurated which is connected to one of the most important viewpoints of the city. There, we'll enjoy a spectacular panorama of the coastline.

At the end of our tour, we'll have ridden in the seven funiculars in Valparaiso that are still in operation today, as well as explored the hills they connect with.

Our tour will end back at your hotel after 4.5 hours of activity.

Hotel Pickup

This tour includes hotel pick up from the hotels located within the urban radius of Valparaíso.

Tour without Pickup
