The neighborhoods of Valparaiso are scattered on cerros (hills) that surround downtown and overlook the Pacific Ocean. After a day at the office or a trip to the market, porteños who don't want to climb the steep streets home hop on one of the 15 ascenors that pull them to the top. The ride hasn't changed much since the inclines were built in the 1880s.
