Valparaiso Cruise Port (Muelle Prat)

Valparaiso Cruise Port, known as Muelle Prat, serves as the entry point to the UNESCO-listed city of Valparaíso and the nearby coastal resort of Viña del Mar. Often called ‘Little San Francisco’ for its hilly streets, Valparaíso, or ‘Valpo’ to locals, was once a bustling stopover for ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans via the Straits of Magellan. Today, visitors can explore the port’s vibrant surroundings, including the colorful, steep hillsides and historic neighborhoods that reflect the city’s rich maritime heritage.
