Ascensor Reina Victoria

A proper old fashioned funicular/ lift in Valparaiso. It only takes about a minute to go up and cost 100 Chilean Pesos but the ride up gives a nice view.

One of the few remaining escalator in Valparaiso! It's really worth the try and experience.

The Reina Victoria funicular in Chile is an incredible traditional transportation choice.

If you're looking for a unique and authentic experience, the Reina Victoria funicular is definitely worth a visit.

I took the lift which was 100 chilean pesos. I didn’t have cash but luckily a local had a gave me the change. It was quite fun taking it but remember to have some cash for it. The views on the top are quite nice.

Wonderful place! The People working at the lift were super lovely! I can’t believe this structure still works by human force. The spot itself is amazing. There are lots of restaurants around with the best views of Valparaiso. 🫶

Steep funicular, up to the hill. The payment at the bottom.(First pay when going up and pay later when coming down) prepare small money, they may not have change for big money.

Ascensor Reina Victoria is a super fun little funicular railway in the heart of Valparaíso, Chile! It’s definitely worth visiting if you’re in this city as it’s a fun experience and provides great views. It is extremely old (built in 1902) but it still runs great. The area has a playground for children, seats, and streetlights, and it’s quite inexpensive to ride the funicular. It’s also in a great walking area for you to explore all the shops, restaurants, and street art! Definitely put this on your list of saved places!

Very cool way to get to the top fast, I enjoyed the views too
