The El Peral funicular (Spanish: Ascensor El Peral) is located between two urban centers of Valparaíso, Chile, (Justice Square),[1] a quiet place in Valparaiso’s downtown and (Yugoslav Walk)[2] that offers a sightseeing balcony with a vista of the bay and mountains.[3]

Access turnstiles are in an alley inside a building, ’s work. The upper station reaches Paseo Yugoslavo. Here is a view of the city and the (Fine Arts Museum). The top station allows visitors to see the propulsion machinery. This funicular was the first that used steam traction equipment, and its chimney became the main feature. When first opened, El Peral was the most advanced funicular due to its structural aspect and for the surrounding complementary buildings.[4][5]
