Description
Check out the murals, viewpoints, and heritage streets in Valparaíso, and chill by the Pacific Ocean in Viña del Mar. An experience packed with contrasts and beauty.
Dive into an unforgettable trip from Santiago to the Pacific coast, where culture, art, and history blend with the sea air and unique landscapes.
This private tour will take you to discover the bohemian soul of Valparaíso and the coastal charm of Viña del Mar, with all the comfort and flexibility you deserve.
The experience kicks off with a pick-up right from your hotel or accommodation in Santiago. From there, we'll start a comfy ride to the coast, crossing the Casablanca Valley, a place famous for its vineyards and green landscapes.
Our first stop is Valparaíso, a city that can't be explained, it's felt.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's a real urban museum where every street, hill, and wall tells a story.
You'll check out iconic spots like Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción, where street art covers whole buildings and colorful houses seem to float among the hills.
You'll check out staircases covered in murals, hidden alleys, local design shops, and old elevators.
If you want, you can visit La Sebastiana, the quirky house of the poet Pablo Neruda, which offers unique views of the port and a poetic and inspiring experience.
To top it all off, we've got a super special treat for you: a beach picnic with traditional Chilean empanadas.
An authentic, simple, and delicious moment, perfect for connecting with the local vibe while enjoying the sea.
Then we head to Viña del Mar, the elegant 'Garden City'.
Here, everything changes: wide beaches, palm trees, European-inspired architecture, and a relaxed vibe.
We'll check out the famous Flower Clock, Wulff Castle, and you can stroll by the sea or enjoy a lunch with a view of the ocean.
This tour is totally tailored to you.
You can take your time at each spot, ask for special stops, and enjoy a day at your own pace. Our guide/driver will always be on the ball to make this day a memorable experience.
