Ruta Valparaíso is a tourism route company whose aim is to approach passengers and tourists to the experience of getting to know Valparaíso. More than just seeing places, more than simply visiting the most outstanding places or doing city walks and tours, what we seek is to translate, to generate the encounter, the meeting between the visitors and the particular identity of the city inhabitant known as the “Porteño”.
We are Insiders. Local tour guides who are familiar with the inner and exclusive codes, who know the way, who cross lines that nobody crosses.
The tourism routes of Ruta Valparaíso are not traditional routes in the technical sense; monuments, museums, tourists’ areas, etc. The tourism routes and the way they are carried out are fitted to the city. They are not only about Valparaíso. They are about the city and their people.
For this reason, the circuits are private and not regular. They are done on demand and through the booking of any of our tourists programs. We devote ourselves in an exclusive way to the visitor or passenger who wishes to enjoy our way of seeing the city.
In a Ruta Valparaíso circuit, you will walk throughout the city, you will take public transport with your guide, you will venture through alleys and markets, you will have the opportunity of talking and interacting with the people of the city, you will have close contact with the places and their inhabitants. You will hear the story of the city and its particular geographic physiognomy. You will receive explanations about small details that become big details always related to our history and our particular way of life. For Ruta Valparaíso, a small place or small event may become a great story to reveal.

Francois Davis: Frances, Inglés, Español.
He was born and lived until he was twelve in Montreal (Quebec, francophone province of Canada).
French and English are his native languages but Spanish is also his home-tongue. He arrived to Chile on 1990, where he studied translation, although he has also worked in different areas as hostel receptionist, tour guide and more.
His most curious activity and the one who defines him as a person and local character is his passion for old and abandoned houses, where in many occasions he has lived in the same style as the Spanish “okupas” or English “squatters”. He has been a pioneer in this activity in Chile.
François is friendly, loves Valparaíso and is one more of the characters that walk the city compiling stories and discovering places. |
