Valparaíso played an important geopolitical role in the second half of the 19th century, when the city served as a major stopover for ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by crossing the Straits of Magellan. Always a magnet for European immigrants, Valparaíso mushroomed during its golden age, when the city was known by international sailors as Little San Francisco and The Jewel of the Pacific.
Examples of Valparaíso's former glory include Latin America's oldest stock exchange, the continent's first volunteer fire department, Chile's first public library, and the oldest Spanish language newspaper in continuous publication in the world. The opening of the Panama Canal and reduction in ship traffic dealt a staggering blow to Valparaíso, though the city has staged an impressive renaissance in recent years.
Though nearby San Antonio has taken the reins as the country's most commercially important seaport (greater tonnage moved), the City of Valparaíso remains a vibrant center of Chilean culture, and the Greater Valparaíso metropolitan area (which includes Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Quilpué and Villa Alemana) has the third largest concentration of population in the country after Greater Santiago and Greater Concepción.

バルパライソ(Valparaíso)はチリの首都サンティアゴに近い港町。国会が所在し、チリの立法首都の役割を果たしている。
Valは英語のValley、paraísoは英語のparadiseとほぼ同義で、日本語に訳すと天国の谷といった意味である。人口27万人（2006年現在）の太平洋に面した港湾都市であり、迷路のように入り組んだ歴史のある美しい街並が2003年に、UNESCOの世界遺産に「バルパライソの海港都市とその歴史的な町並み」として登録された。

Valparaísos Hafen zählt zu den wichtigsten Häfen Südamerikas. Im 19. Jahrhundert war Valparaíso jahrzehntelang der größte Hafen des gesamten Pazifikraumes. Nach der Eröffnung des Panamakanals 1914 nahm seine Bedeutung allerdings rapide ab. Heute ist er nicht einmal mehr der größte Hafen Chiles. Im Nachbarort San Antonio wird heute mehr Tonnage umgeschlagen als in Valparaíso, vor allem Importwaren für Santiago. Die meisten Exporte dagegen erfolgen dezentral über eine Reihe von Häfen nahe der Kupferminen in der I. und II. Region.
In der Stadt gibt es mehrere Hochschulen, darunter die Technische Universität Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, die katholische Hochschule Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, die staatliche Universidad de Valparaíso und die Pädagogische Hochschule Universidad de Playa Ancha de Ciencias de la Educación. Valparaíso ist somit auch ein bedeutendes Bildungszentrum Chiles.
In der Stadt verkehrt ferner seit 1952 der Oberleitungsbus Valparaíso, heute der einzige Obus-Betrieb des Landes. Außerdem seit 2005 die Metro Valparaíso.
In der Stadt befindet sich das Hauptquartier der Chilenischen Marine.

With a confortable semi-cama-bus we derparted from San Pedro De Atacama and wint first north-west to the city Calama. From there it was going more to the south and sometimes along the west-coast of Chili. We made a longer stop in Antofagasta, a harbour-city, where we celebrated Dutch New Year's Eve (2014) at the local time of 20.00 hour. After that we travelled further to La Serena. We arrived there in the morning.
