Queen Victoria Elevator to the Old Prison
90 Minutes
A highly recommended walk through the upper sections of the Pleasant Hill National Historic District, winding along the elegant German Avenue to Bismark Square, and down Cumming Street to the old prison, now an active cultural center.
Degree of Difficulty: Strenuous, especially the first stretch from the Queen Victoria Elevator up to Avenida Alemania. The rest is flat or downhill.
How to Get Here: Leave your car in the underground parking at Lord Cochrane Square (Regional Government Building) and walk 3 blocks up through the Plazuela Anibal Pinto up Cummings Street to the Queen Victoria Funicular. Any bus outside the bus station will take you here as well. Get off at Bellavista Street in front of the Lider Supermarket. From there, walk the same 3 blocks across the plaza, through the Plazuela Anibal Pinto, and up Cumming Street to the Queen Victoria elevator.
Tourist Infrastructure: There are some small stores and galleries on Almirante Montt Street, parallel to Capilla, at the beginning of your walk, but you will be hard pressed to find clean public bathrooms, so start with your tank on empty.
