Itinerary
Día 1
Treasures of the Pacific Private Tour: Valparaíso and Viña del Mar
Tour start time: 8:00 am
- No trip to Chile is complete without visiting the colorful coastal cities of Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. Our journey begins with pickup from your hotel and then an hour and a half drive to the Chilean coast.
- We begin the tour of the coast in Concón, known for its seafood restaurants and surf shops. We pass through the impressive sand dunes of Concón where we will have panoramic views of the port of Valparaíso.
- The tour continues to the popular Reñaca beach, where most days we will see sea lions lying on the coastal rocks. Then we drive through Viña del Mar, the “Garden City” of Chile, where you will see the important points of the city, including the Flower Clock and the Casino, a “Moai” statue of Easter Island, as well as the virgin beaches of the city.
- The city of Viña del Mar was founded in 1874 by engineer José Francisco Vergara Echevers, and has become the most luxurious tourist city in Chile, attracting visitors from all over the world with a tropical atmosphere, white sand beaches and a great amount of gourmet restaurants.
- While Viña del Mar's celebrity has brought it many elegant and modern buildings and hotels, the character of the city is characterized by its many charming colonial houses. Viña is also famous for its International Music Festival that is held every year the third week of February and lasts for five days. It is very popular with Chileans and the Spanish music world and effectively marks the end of the summer season.
- Then, we arrive at our main destination, Plaza Sotomayor, in the heart of Valparaíso. Nicknamed “the jewel of the Pacific”, Valparaíso was declared a World Heritage Site for its improvised urban design and unique architecture.
- In 1996, the World Monuments Fund declared Valparaíso's unusual funicular elevator system (steep wagons) one of the 100 most threatened historical treasures in the world. Valparaíso was declared a World Heritage Site in 2003. Built on dozens of steep slopes overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Valparaíso has a maze of cobbled streets and alleys, embodying a rich architectural and cultural legacy.
- First we will go on a 30 minute boat ride around the bay.
- Then, we will climb Concepción and Alegre hills in an old funicular. Bohemian and colorful, Valparaíso's labyrinth of hills has long inspired poets and writers. You will discover something new at every turn: a jewel of a building, a remarkable art gallery or some small gastronomic “find”.
- Delight in the architecture of this city declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Walk through its narrow streets, climb its endless stairs and enjoy panoramic views from its many viewpoints.
