Even the most urban corners of Valparaiso hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Street art throughout the cerros and Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepcion offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Cementerio de Disidentes for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Valparaiso is a bohemian port city tumbling down steep hillsides to the Pacific Ocean, famous for its funicular elevators, labyrinthine stairways, and some of the most spectacular street art in the world.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided nature walk route in Valparaiso. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Street art throughout the cerros — an open-air gallery of murals, stencils, and installations covering the hillside cerros, making Valparaiso one of South America's premier street art capitals, Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepcion — two adjacent hilltop neighborhoods settled by British and German immigrants, with pastel tin houses, boutique hotels, and panoramic harbor views, La Sebastiana (Neruda's house) — Pablo Neruda's hillside home with five stories of eclectic decor and harbor views, where the poet hosted New Year's parties overlooking the fireworks, plus hidden gems like Cementerio de Disidentes — a hillside cemetery for non-Catholic immigrants with weathered Victorian tombstones and sweeping ocean views.

Valparaiso is known for street art and bohemian culture, but between the busy streets, spaces like Street art throughout the cerros and Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepcion provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Cementerio de Disidentes provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
Valparaiso is extremely hilly — expect constant stair climbing and steep descents. Use the ascensores when available, wear grippy shoes, and keep one hand free for grabbing railings.
October through March (Southern Hemisphere summer) offers the warmest and driest weather, with January and February being the peak season.
