Get a Sunset Drink on a Rooftop Overlooking the Pacific Ocean

Published on October 24, 2024

Valparaíso's maritime, hilly landscapes offer loads of great opportunities and places where to enjoy a blissful sunset.

From marveling at the warm shades painted by the sun on the mountains—even on the majestic Mt. Aconcagua!—to the heartwarming experience of watching the sun on the horizon over the Pacific Ocean, the options and angles are almost countless.

Next to the Wheelwright Promenade, on the Barón Pier, you can enjoy a refreshing craft-beer at Chungungo, while watching the sun going down behind Playa Ancha, the peninsula-like hill at Valparaíso's westernmost tip.

For a fancier option, book a table at Portofino Restaurant on the cliff in Esperanza Hill (over Caleta Portales Wet Market), to enjoy a delicious dinner and pisco sour while watching the sunset over the bay.

Beside the different public viewpoints in Alegre and Concepción hills, there are a few rooftops offering diverse angles to enjoy the sunset, while sipping a Chilean pisco sour, like Fauna, El Terrat, and Circular Valparaíso.

Now, to watch the sunset on the horizon over the ocean, you have to move from Valparaíso to either Viña del Mar (around the casino) or Playa Ancha Hill's seashore—to enjoy the sunset from the promenade.
