We’re all about transport here at Matouring. As we always say, there’s no getting around getting around. And that’s the truth. We’re ostensibly about travel, but, if you’re a traveler, you know that travel is made up of pieces and parts (ie: planes, hotels, activities etc.) And getting around can be one of the best adventures in travel, or it can get you down, rather than around. Happily, though, the world is jam-packed with places that will make you happy, especially when they’re a surprise out of nowhere. Which is, of course, the topic this post. A most enjoyable activity in a most enjoyable place to be – Chile. But, you’ll need to get around if you really want to enjoy the country. And, the subject of this post smoothly blends into an unforgettable and historical activity that everyone can enjoy.
Chile boasts a remarkable range of landscapes, from the Atacama Desert in the north, one of the driest places on Earth, to the fjords and glaciers of Patagonia in the south. The diverse geography allows for a wide variety of activities and experiences, creating opportunities for unexpected and unique encounters.
The country is actually home to several funiculars, and one of the most famous ones is in the city of Valparaíso. The funiculars in Chile are not only a mode of transportation but also a popular and enjoyable activity for both locals and tourists. The funiculars in Chile often traverse hilly landscapes, offering passengers stunning panoramic views of the city, coastline, and surrounding areas. The journey itself becomes a scenic experience, providing a unique perspective of the landscape that you might not get from other modes of transportation.
And many of the funiculars in Chile have a rich history, dating back to the late 19th or early 20th centuries. Riding these funiculars allows visitors to connect with the cultural and historical heritage of the region, experiencing a form of transportation that has been an integral part of the local identity for generations. funiculars are also available in Valparaíso, as well.
