El Peral Funicular to Queen Victoria Elevator
90 Minutes
For tourists with limited time in Valparaiso, this is the walk you want to take. The Pleasant Hill and Concepción National Historic Districts constitute one of the most stunning and breathtaking cultural heritage sites in the world. The neighborhoods are well preserved and tourist friendly.
: : :
Degree of Difficulty: There is a slight climb up Miramar Street from the Yugoslavian Promenade to Lautaro Rosas Street. The rest is flat or downhill. You may need to catch your breath, but, in general, this is an accessible walk for healthy people of all age.
How to Get Here: By car you can follow the main routes into downtown Valparaiso, leaving your car in the underground parking below the Plaza Sotomayor. By bus or trolley, board any vehicle marked “Aduana” and get off at the Plaza Sotomayor, walking 100 meters to the El Peral Funicular in the Justice Square.
Tourist Infrastructure:
Plenty. In Pleasant Hill, the Colombina is one of Valparaiso’s finest hillside restaurants with a lovely terrace and a fine wine list. In Concepcion Hill, the Café Turri is well known and the Brighton Bed & Breakfast has one of the most spectacular hanging terraces in the cityóideal for meals, snacks, coffee, wine or a refreshing pisco sour. In general, any of the major restaurants will allow tourists to use the bathrooms as long as they don’t abuse the privilege. There are now several smaller cafes and restaurants, several of which may be worth stopping in to. On weekends, the French lunch at Le Filou de Montpelier (Almirante Montt Street with Urriola) is one of the best bargains in all of Valparaiso. As for lodging, the Brighton is the best known, but you will also find a plethora of B & Bs and charming familyÑowned apartments for rent. The Tomas Somerscales Hotel is due to open in 2004.
