In Chile,Valparaiso is known for its combination of history and economic vitality as a major port on the Pacific. With its name meaning “Valley of Paradise,” the city was settled by the Spanish in the 1530s and quickly achieved prominence as a deep harbor capable of providing a safe port to ships crossing the treacherous Cape Horn.
Settled on steep hills, the city developed a unique system of staircases, alleyways, and funiculars to enable residents to get around. The ethnically diverse city flourished until the completion of the Panama Canal, when major shipping was rerouted and the city settled back into being a relative backwater. A devastating earthquake in the early 20th century destroyed much of the city.
Today the historical core of Valparaíso, which encompasses four traditional universities and has been home to many of South America’s most noted poets and artists, is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
