Valparaiso - General Info
Description:
Port of Valparaiso lies on the coast of central Chile about 160 kms (100 miles) northwest of the country’s capital, Santiago. The port lies on the shores where a coastal mountain range forms a rocky peninsula and a sheltered bay. Built on steep hillsides, Port of Valparaiso is a labyrinth of cobblestone alleys and streets. It is a treasure of cultural and architectural history.

I went to have a look today and indeed the yacht clubs in Valparaíso have been thoroughly destroyed by a storm, earthquake & tsunami.
It will take quite some time before they are operational again!
Keep up the good work on your great website!

Update May 2015 by SY Anna Caroline:
Club de Yates de Higuerillas is primarily aimed at their own members but has some room for visiting yachts. Visitors are welcome: the first week is free, after that 50 USD per night.
There are no long-term rates. There are haul-out facilities, but the room is limited. Arrange well in advance. Swell enters the marina, so careful mooring is essential.
