Walking along the sea shore

by filipdebont

Despite the grey weather, it was nice to walk along the sea shore.

At several place you could see beautiful sand sculptures.

Of course when you visit this place in summer time, it must be more beautiful. As when we visited Vina del mar it was winter time, grey and wet, and of course with less color.

But anyway it always gives a special feeling walk along a big Ocean. Also because of the fact that our during our Trans South America trip we would be travelling from one Ocean to another.

Our guide told us that it was a kind of a tradition to bade in the ocean on both sides, but as the temperatures were not so . . . I found it no good idea at all ...brrrr so cold.

"Vina del Mar"

It's a 15 minute bus journey north of Valparaiso. It's Chile's prime beach resort which draws Chileans and visitors alike in the summer. There are a number of beaches that are popular among the locals and the coastline from Caleta Abarca to Cochoa can be enjoyed by many int taking the view of the sea. Note the Muelle Vergara where refined sugar used to be loaded into ships and still now is an important landmark.

Vina del Mar is known as the "Garden City" where people can enjoy the nature of all seasons. There are some interesting parks to visit such as Reloj de Flores, built for the 1962 World Cup Finals that were hosted in Chile; Quinta Vergara Park and the National Botanical Gardens. A museum worth visiting is Francisco Fonck Museum and Wulff Castle.

Viña del Mar

by IIGUANA

"Viña del Mar: My hometown"

Viña del Mar is often called the "garden city" due to its many gardens around and palm trees. It's a rather modern city, with nice beaches and very close to Santiago, Chile's capital city. For the same reason, it's a very common destination for people living in Santiago.
Viña del Mar's best season is definately during the summer, in January and February. There's lots to do during the summer, and there are lots of tourist attractions.
Viña's peak event is the "Festival de la Canción" (Song Festival) which is an international song festival with lots of latin and english music concerts. It lasts 1 week, and it's always during the 3rd week of February.
So come to Viña, you'll enjoy it!!!
