This is the top tourist spot in Valparaiso with lots of artisian shops ,restaurants, and colorful buildings & murals. We took the ancient funicular to get there.Unfortunately the streets are torn up with construction..and this is a detraction. worth the visit! More

You don´t expect the elevator still working but it does! It´s a steep climb but worth it. You can go up with the elevator (300 pesos/each) and walk downstairs. And uphill you can find restaurants and cafes. More

I was right on Templeman which was a wonderful location. I walked "round and round" my block, always seeing new things. You could walk in all directions, only the strength of your legs would determine your choices. There was a lot of wall art nearby, the ATM was in the mini-mart (also good for fruit and cold drinks), and lots... More

Most travel materials describe this area, and nearby Cerro Allegre, as the cultural and tourism centre for Valparaiso. Indeed, the area is well worth exploring for the winding and sometimes nearly vertical roadways, murals, artisan shops, restaurants, and museums. Excellent service and food at the Garvasoni hotel restaurant. Currently (March 2012), Palacio Baburizzo is closed for renovations. Don’t stop with... More

This area if full of just that: laid back, with a mix of locals and tourists. If you are driving, you're in for a wile ride - and make sure you watch... More

For about 60 cents, this is a fun ride and much better than walking up the hills. You have a great view of the harbour. It is quite steep and historic. From downtown, you will be up on Paseo Gervasconi right at Cafe Turri in about a minute. It goes quickly, enjoy! More
