Torpederas to Artillery Hill
90 Minutes
This attractive walk winds through historic Playa Ancha, home to several important universities, the Chilean navy, and some of the city’s most interesting architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Degree of Difficulty: Easy. There is a single uphill incline at the beginning of the route, climbing about two blocks from sea level at Torpederas Beach to the campus of Playa Ancha University. The rest of the walk is flat and relaxing.
How to Get Here: [Pending]
Tourist Infrastructure: At the end of the section, in the general area of the 21st of May Promenade, you’ll find a bustle of tourist vendors, street musicians, organ grinders, and artists selling water colors and craftwork There are several cafes and restaurants, as well as public bathrooms. At the beginning, specifically around the two universities, you may find several soda fountains catering mostly to college kids. They lack amenities for modern tourists, but young backpackers may enjoy stopping in for a visit. If necessary, you may be able to use the bathrooms at the University of Valparaiso or at the Playa Ancha University.
