Known as "Greater Valparaíso" is the second largest metropolitan area of Chile after Santiago,
The area has a population of 631,000 inhabitants, located 123km (76 miles) northwest away from Santiago (90 minutes driving)
​Viña del Mar is known as "La Ciudad Jardín".
Valparaíso is known in several ways, "La Joya del Pacífico",
​"El Puerto Principal" or "El Puerto Histórico".
​Nicknamed "The Jewel of the Pacific", Valparaíso was declared a world heritage site based upon its improvised urban design and unique architecture. In 1996, the World Monuments Fund declared Valparaíso's unusual system of funicular lifts (steeply inclined carriages) one of the world's 100 most endangered historical treasures. 
​Valparaíso was declared a World Heritage Site in 2003. Built upon dozens of steep hillsides overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Valparaíso has a labyrinth of streets and cobblestone alleyways, embodying a rich architectural and cultural legacy. Valparaíso is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
