Sendero Bicentenario

Section 6
Bellavista Hill to Lastra Street

If you only have time for two walks in Valparaiso, this makes an excellent compliment to Section 3. Highlights include the Valparaiso Foundation, Pablo Neruda’s House, La Sebastiana, the Open Air Museum, and the painted facades of Bellavista Hill. In addition, the route takes you to charming Prefecto Lazo Street and the surprising Florida Funicular.

Degree of Difficulty: The most complicated spur of this section is the three block uphill climb from the Open Air Museum to Pablo Neruda’s museum home, La Sebastiana. Very steep.

How to Get Here: You can walk up the Pasteur Stairway to Valparaiso Foundation headquarters. The stairway is located behind the Ripley Department Store in the Plaza Victoria. Otherwise, take the Espiritu Santo Funicular elevator or take a taxi from the Plazuela Ecuador to Foundation headquarters.

Tourist Infrastructure: El Gato Tuerto, with its spectacular terrace, eclectic fusion cuisine, and boutique wine list, is one of the city’s finest restaurants. The Valparaiso Foundation also features a stained glass workshop, an arts and crafts store, and good bathrooms. You may be tired from the climb to La Sebastiana, but once you get there you’ll find more good bathrooms, an excellent gift shop, and a cute, tiny café.
