You step off the air-conditioned van and the Pacific wind pushes the city toward you — gulls wheel above a harbor threaded with container cranes and colorful houses stacked up steep slopes. The day unfolds across two coastal siblings: Valparaíso’s labyrinth of steep alleys, funiculars and street art, and Viña del Mar’s softer promenade and gardens, capped by a short stop in the Casablanca Valley for a taste of Chilean wine.
