Ascensor Artillería, Valparaíso

Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 27 August 2007 in Transportation and Portfolio.

The port city of Valparaíso is extremely hilly and has a number of historic "ascensores" or funicular railways. Quite a few of these are still running and are used as everyday transport by the locals.

Me encantan los viejos ascensores de Valparaíso. No hay mejor manera para subir los cerros de la ciudad.

Just an update here:
Thanks to all who've commented so far -- and to anyone else who cares to do so. I'll reply if I think doing so will add anything useful.
Gracias a todos por el interés en esta foto.
