As you reserve your spot, you can select between two distinct experiences, each with a duration of 7 to 8 hours and featuring an English-speaking guide. Both tours showcase popular coastal attractions in Chile.
Below are the specifics of each tour option:
Pickup Tour without Lunch
We'll begin by picking you up at the prearranged time from your hotel in Valparaíso, and promptly depart towards Viña del Mar. During this leg of the journey, you will witness the city's landmark sites, including the renowned Flower Clock, the beautiful Quinta Vergara, the Carrasco Palace, and El Rioja. The charm of this city will surely enchant you!
Throughout our excursion, you'll learn about how Viña del Mar gained recognition as the first spa destination in Chile, all while enjoying spectacular coastal vistas and the remarkable original Moai from Easter Island.
Our next stop will be the stunning Reñaca Beach, including views of the famous Concón dunes. Prepare to be mesmerized!
We will then head back to Valparaíso, celebrated for its bohemian atmosphere. Here, you'll explore its vibrant street murals and capture memorable photos. You'll also have some free time to enjoy a meal in the city center.
In the afternoon, we will reconvene to explore the picturesque Cerros Concepción and Alegre, neighborhoods rich in history and culture.
We plan to return to your hotel approximately 7 to 8 hours after the initial pickup.
Tour without Pickup with Lunch
Opting for this alternative means we will meet at Plaza Sotomayor in Valparaíso and kick off the tour with a walking exploration of the historic center. Your journey will include visits to iconic landmarks and rides on vibrant traditional elevators for unparalleled views.
A delightful traditional lunch awaits us in a local eatery, featuring a menu that comprises a starter, main dish, dessert, and a drink, with weekly changing offerings. Dishes may include chorrillana, empanadas de pino, fish, seafood, and pastel de choclo.
Post-lunch, we will travel to Viña del Mar via public transport, taking around 20 minutes. Upon arrival, visits will include the magnificent Quinta Vergara, its palace, and the iconic festival stage. You will also have the chance to stroll around the Flower Clock, Mirador Alessandri, Wulff Castle, Casino Municipal, Iglesia de las Carmelitas, and the Museo Fonck.
The tour concludes at Muelle Vergara in Viña del Mar, approximately 8 hours after we start.
Note: this is primarily a walking tour. Apart from two elevator rides and the public transportation travel between Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, expect uneven terrains and stairs during the Valparaíso section of the tour.
