subiendo porEl Peral<br />

Inaugurado en 1902, el ascensor<br />

El Peral es uno de los más<br />

antiguos de Valparaíso. Su<br />

primer propietario fue la Sociedad<br />

A s c e n s o r C e r r o A l e g r e y<br />

a c t u a l m e n t e p e r t e n e c e a l<br />

municipio porteño. Intensamente<br />

utilizado por las colonias<br />

extranjeras que se asentaron en el<br />

Cerro Alegre, hoy es demandado<br />

por los vecinos y visitantes de esta<br />

importante área residencial,<br />

educacional y turística. En 1998 fue<br />

declarado Monumento Histórico<br />

Nacional.<br />

Se encuentra emplazado entre dos<br />

espacios urbanos característicos<br />

de Valparaíso: la Plaza Justicia,<br />

remanso dentro de la trama del<br />

plan, y en su estación superior, el<br />

Paseo Yugoslavo, mirador que<br />

posee imponentes vistas tanto de<br />

la bahía y puerto, como de la<br />

Cordillera de Los Andes, y en el<br />

que es posible no sólo contemplar<br />

la ciudad sino interesantes<br />

edificaciones patrimoniales de<br />

influencia extranjera, como el<br />

Palacio Baburizza.<br />

ASCENSORES/FUNICULARS LIFTS<br />

Going up on El Peral<br />

Opened in 1902, El<br />

Peral funicular lift is<br />

one of the oldest in<br />

Valparaíso. Its first owner<br />

was the Sociedad Ascensor<br />

Cerro Alegre and currently it<br />

belongs to the port's city<br />

government. Intensely used<br />

by immigrant communities<br />

that settled in Cerro Alegre,<br />

today it is used by residents<br />

and visitors to this important<br />

residential, educational and<br />

tourist area. In 1998, it was<br />

declared a National Historic<br />

Monument.<br />

It is located between two of<br />

Valparaíso's distinctive urban<br />

spaces: the Plaza Justicia, a<br />

haven among the city's bustle<br />

and its upper station, Paseo<br />

Yugoslavo, a scenic overlook<br />

and walkway that offers<br />

stunning views both of the<br />

bay and the port city as well<br />

as the Andes mountain range<br />

where you can not only look<br />

over the city but also see<br />

historic buildings, of foreign<br />

design, such as the Palacio Baburizza.
