Morning light hits the Pacific and the coastal road unfurls—this day trip pushes away Santiago’s skyline and deposits travelers into a scatter of hills, painted houses and salt air. Valparaíso’s steep alleys open like pages; the city’s funiculars lift you from the port to Paseo Atkinson and Paseo Gervasoni, where views cut across shipping masts to Viña del Mar’s sandy curve.
