Artillery Elevator to Justice Square
90 Minutes
This section zigzags through much of the older section of Valparaiso’s historic quarter, declared a UNESCO world heritage site. The area around the Echaurren Square and the base of Santo Domingo Hill, surrounding the Church of the Matriz constitute outstanding cultural heritage sites. Still, hikers should be aware this is the poorer section of the historic quarter (section three is much better preserved) and a certain spirit of adventure is recommended.
Degree of Difficulty: This section features two significant climbs: one in Santo Domingo Hill and one in Cordillera Hill. The first can be avoided by shortcutting from the Plazuela Santo Domingo directly to Cajilla Street via Ullyses, eliminating the ascent. Still. wear comfortable shoes and avoid heels at all costs.
How to Get Here: Take any of the buses on Errazurriz or Pedro Montt Street that says “Aduana”. Better yet, take a trolley. Get off at the Aduana and ride the funicular to the top of Artillery Hill.
Tourist Infrastructure: There are cafes, restaurants, artists stands, and public bathrooms around the 21st of May Promenade at the beginning of the route. Once you get started, you may not find another clean bathroom until the Plaza Sotomayor, so start with an empty tank! There are a number of “picadas” (cheap, unglamorous restaurants recommended only to the most adventurous) around the Market place in Echaurren Square. At the end of the section you will find yourself at Sotomayor Square, in the heart of the Valparaiso Financial District, with many amenities and fine restaurants galore.
