    A piece of history, still untouched! A totally must do! Learn a bit about Chilean history and one of it's most important heroes. On the port you can go around the bay in one of the of the passenger boats and take amazing pics of the bay and the cargo ship. Several souvenir shops with a variety of items for you to take to family and friends. "El bote Salvavidas" great restaurant with a great variety of Chilean and International dishes at water's edge with a truly amazing view of the port. On same aerea you can also find the newest addition to this picturesque site "Valparaiso Aquarium" although small still gives a good idea of the fish and shellfish of Valparaiso and Chilean ocean habitat. Very affordable entrance fee and each small group with their own Aquarium tourguide ( with heavy Venezuelan accent , obvious reflection of the changes of times and how diverse Chile has become regarding it's ethnicity)

    Port with boats. Lost its purpose when the Panama canal opened. Nothing exciting.

    If you are looking the best place to see the local boats, here it is! A sailor and local place! I would definitely recommend this place. You can ask for tours also and check for restaurants.

    From here you take a 30min tour around the port. There's also a restaurant with a nice view to the port and boats

    Lot's of history here. Make sure you google for information regarding the Prat/ Chilean pride, & determination not to give up!

    Nice place but besides some artisans, street vendors there's no that much of a variety to places to eat, I mean there are, but is like everyone's selling the same. Also, there's no public restrooms, a real letdown for every passerby who goes to crowded places.

    No one tells you that the entire Beach area is a private port. You HAVE to shuttle north to the port terminal AND then shuttle farther north to exit the port area

    Beautiful place 🤩 of Valparaiso , Chile

  • 3/5 Kate K. 1 year ago on Google
    It was ok. We ended a Viking cruise there and the ship spent one overnight at the port. The pier for cruise ships is far and requires a shuttle bus. A Princess cruise was embarking that day and the process was crowded and somewhat disorganized. There was a huge crowd at the one food operation, apparently of passengers waiting to board the Princess ship. Getting off was fine and plenty of room to collect luggage and find taxi.

    This is a must go in Valparaiso, ask the people to take you on a boat. They charge you 6 USD for one ride. It take 30-40 min
