Valparaíso (locals say "Valpo") sits 90 minutes northwest of Santiago — Chile's principal Pacific port and the country's anti-Santiago: hilly, ungrid-able, painted in murals, with funiculars climbing the 45 named cerros. Cerro Concepción and Cerro Alegre are the nomad bases (cafe-dense, walkable, English-friendly); Plan (the flat downtown) is the working port and is sketchier after dark. The Chilean Digital Nomad Visa launched in 2024 (USD 800/mo income, 1-year renewable) — among the cheapest income thresholds in Latin America. Internet (Movistar / Entel fiber) is solid in modern apartments. Pichilemu (1.5h south) is the surf weekend trip; Santiago for everything else.
