Extra Tips for Travelers in Valparaíso
A few practical things to know to make your stay in Valparaíso stress-free when it comes to healthcare.
Always carry your passport
You will need it to purchase prescription medication at pharmacies in Chile. No RUT required as a tourist.
The hills are steeper than they look
Valparaíso’s cerros are beautiful but demanding. Many visitors underestimate the climbs and end up with muscle pain, knee soreness, or dehydration. Take the ascensores (funiculars) where available and rest regularly.
Cold Pacific winds year-round
Even in summer, Valparaíso’s coastal winds are cold and damp. Respiratory infections and chills are common among tourists who don’t dress in layers. Always carry a windproof jacket.
Avoid self-medicating
Antibiotics require a prescription in Chile. Always consult a doctor first — our consultation takes 15 minutes and gives you a valid digital prescription immediately.
Farmacias throughout the city
