Discover Valparaíso through its lively markets, historic hills, and authentic seafood culture on a 3-hour guided food crawl filled with local flavors and stories.
Start at the iconic Mercado El Cardonal, a bustling market where locals buy fresh seafood, vegetables, and traditional snacks every day.
Wander through stalls while tasting classic Chilean bites such as fresh empanadas, seafood specialties and traditional sweets. Learn how Valparaíso’s port history shaped its food culture.
Next, walk through the charming viewpoints of Paseo Gervasoni, where cafés and street vendors overlook the Pacific Ocean.
End near the fishing community of Caleta Portales, where small restaurants serve some of the freshest seafood in the region.
By the end of the crawl you’ll take home more than photos: stories from local vendors, a deeper understanding of Chilean cuisine, and the flavors of Valparaíso’s port culture.
