The colonial city of ValparaÃso, Chile, enjoyed a privileged status during the development of maritime trade routes in the 19th-century, when it was one of the main seaport cities in the South Pacific. Back then it was known as The Jewel of the Pacific and “Little San Franciscoâ€. The opening of the Panama Canal marked the beginning of its decline. Nowadays its historic quarter has been designed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. However, funding is needed to preserve its heritage, much of which is still in a dire conservation state.
