Cerro Cordillera is a hill in the UNESCO World Heritage listed port city of Valparaíso. This entry explores the sights on and around the hill.
At the top of Cerro Alegre you will find two things – Baburizza Palace and amazing views of the UNESCO World Heritage listed port city of Valparaíso on Paseo Yugoslavo.
Cerro Concepción is the hill in the UNESCO World Heritage listed port city of Valparaíso with the most attractions to see.
If you ride up Ascensor Reina Victoria towards the back of Cerro Concepción, there’s a path called Paseo Dimalow. It’s a very cool and artsy area with lots of graffiti, some great restaurants, and a few local shops. Not to mention, the view is phenomenal at all times of day. It’s my favorite path in the UNESCO World Heritage listed port city of Valparaíso.
The UNESCO World Heritage listed port city of Valparaíso is the graffiti capital of Chile. It’s got some of the best street art in South America. The murals I saw scattered throughout the city were very impressive. Some of them are easy to find while others are a bit out of the way. Many I saw are not included here:
When I was 12, my family moved to Valparaiso, Indiana. Locals like to call it “Valpo”. It’s not an exciting place, but it was named after Valparaíso, Chile, which Chileans also like to call “Valpo”. Naturally, one of the first places I wanted to visit in Chile was Valpo.
The most important industry in Chile is mining. In order to learn more about the mining industry in Chile and the history of mining in the country, I decided to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Sewell.
The first thing I thought of when I looked at the name of the little Georgian town of Mtskheta was “Yeah, Pat, I’d like to buy a vowel.” I still can’t pronounce it correctly. I got close once.
One of the most beautiful parts of Thessaloniki lies in the city’s Upper Town (Ano Poli), which is the oldest surviving part of Thessaloniki. It served as the Turkish quarter during Ottoman times while the Greeks and Jews lived near the port.
The Church of St. Demetrios is the most important church in Thessaloniki and part of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage listing.
