Valparaíso—South America's street art mecca—will amaze you with picturesque, vibrant murals and colorful steps, in almost every corner!
Although murals can be found throughout Valparaíso's 42 hills and its two downtown area(Puerto and Almendral districts), four of the most graffiti dense neighborhoods—we recommend you to visit—are Concepción Hill, Alegre Hill, downtown Valparaíso, and Polanco Hill.
By including Concepción, Alegre, and Polanco hills to your list, you can also ride three patrimonial elevators (El Peral, Concepción, and Reina Victoria) and the Polanco Lift (with a panoramic lookout on its top), as well as a walk through picturesque alleys to admire charming architecture.
Pro tip: We include lots of vibrant street art during your Valparaíso Insider Private Walking Tour.
