Description
Discover Valparaíso and Viña del Mar on a tour packed with colors, murals, culture, and iconic spots on the Chilean coast.
Experience an unforgettable time on the central coast of Chile by visiting two iconic cities: Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. The tour kicks off with a pick-up at your hotel between 7:00 and 8:00 am. On the way, you can stop in Río Tinto to taste Chilean wines, grab breakfast, and meet some friendly llamas.
In Valparaíso, you'll take a scenic tour of the former National Congress and Pablo Neruda's house before diving into the Alegre and Concepción hills. You'll stroll through streets packed with colorful murals and historic architecture, hop on a legendary century-old elevator, and check out iconic spots like the piano staircase, the red door, and the Baburizza Palace. You'll also check out the historic Plaza Sotomayor, the heart of the UNESCO heritage site, right across from the Palacio de la Armada and the monument to Arturo Prat.
The route continues to Viña del Mar, the garden city and capital of Chilean tourism. There, you'll see the famous flower clock, built for the 1962 World Cup, and the original Moai outside the Fonck Museum, a unique chance to see an ancient Rapa Nui piece.
