Every new year, Valpo is home to the biggest and best fireworks display in South America.

Over a million people from Chile and abroad descend on the city for one huge party. Hotels need to be booked by October at the latest (prices 3-5 times normal) and reconfirmed at least 3-4 times in December to ensure they're honoured.

The fireworks used to be only in Valparaiso but now stretch 20-30km all the way along the cost to Con Con. The display lasts almost half an hour.

The best place to watch them is on Cerro Concepcion and Alegre where the police are out in force making it the safest area to be.
