If you want to get out of the typical touristy area of Cerros Alegre and Concepción, there are many other interesting and fun things to do in Valparaíso.

You can take a ride in a boat (lancha) at Muelle Prat, visit the house-museum of the Nobel Prize poet Pablo Neruda, watch the pelicans and sea lions at Caleta Portales (that’s the real Pelican Walking Tour!) visit the V A L P A R A I SO giant letters at Muelle Baron, try pisco sour or beer at a local bar, or try an empanada or completo (local hot-dog) if you love to try local food.

You can combine two or three activities and create the best walking tour experience in the city according to your interests.

• What should you bring with you on a walking tour?
