Lonely Planet review for Ascensor Concepción

Built in 1883, it originally ran on steam power and is the city's oldest elevator. Also known as Ascensor Turri, it climbs the slopes from the corner of Prat and Carreño, across from the landmark clock tower known as the Reloj Turri up to Cerro Concepción. This is one of the most delightful of all Valparaíso's neighborhoods, with its brightly painted corrugated iron facades and pitched roofs. Along with the equally magical Cerro Alegre next door, this area has undergone a renaissance.
