3 Days in Valparaiso for Solo Travellers
This 3-day Valparaiso solo itinerary focuses on colourful cerros, street art, funiculars, Pacific viewpoints, and safety-aware routing that keeps most wandering in daylight. It is built for independent travellers adding the coast to Santiago. Stay on Cerro Alegre or Cerro Concepcion, then fork the plan for more galleries, Pablo Neruda context, or a Viña del Mar beach extension.
