Valparaiso
A port city built up impossible hillsides and connected by century-old funiculars, street art covering entire staircases rather than just walls, and a bohemian streak the whole Chilean coast defers to.
The best time to visit Valparaiso is Mar–May, Sep–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 24°C (76°F). Local time there is 14:06 (UTC-4).
