Too crowded during Summer time.
In a nutshell
Chile's Garden City and quite more!!!
DAO Says: Just about 2 miles North of the Casino is a Seal Spotting area. You cannot miss it! There are plenty of signs and parking places. The Seals are not always there, and they do not always make themselves available for great photos. When I arrived, it was just rocks, but then...
Horse and Carriage ride or "Victorias"
kiwigal_1 Says: If you would like to try something rather touristy in Viña then you could go on a horse and carriage ride around the town. The locals call them Victorias. It is an unusual and relaxing way to take in some of Viña´s sites, and very romantic!
Walk around the centre of Viña
kiwigal_1 Says: The older part of Viña del Mar is the area around the plaza and the main street. It is worth taking a walk around the area to appreciate some of the older buildings architecture in the city. There are plenty of restaurants and shops in the area on Avenida Valparaiso, the...
kiwigal_1 Says: Valparaiso is actually another city but it is very very close to Viña around the bay to the south. Valparaiso is a lot older than Viña and is a port city. It is a "must see" for any trip to the coast of Chile. You should go up the Peral Asensor (cable car) just past the...
kiwigal_1 Says: One of my favourite things to do in Viña is to head towards the beach - not to go swimming - but to walk along the pathways and watch the world go by. There are little street stalls with artesania and jewellery and local street food for sale.You can see the Vergara Pier near...
kiwigal_1 Says: Viña del Mar has the closest casino to Santiago in a stunning building which is nice to visit even if you aren´t interested in gambling. The building also houses a the 5 star Hotel del Mar and has comedy shows and singers occasionally. Check out the Enjoy Casino webpage for...
kiwigal_1 Says: As Viña del Mar is known as "The Garden City" one of the typical things to do in Viña del Mar is visit the flower clock. The clock actually does work and is surrounded by beautifully maintained flower beds.
filipdebont Says: It looked as Vina del Mar was an ideal place to come with kids. Along the sea shore there were several facilities with kids toys, like just behind Vergarra pier there was a court with small vehicles were the kids could race (of course at low speed).There were also jump...
filipdebont Says: As we walked further on along the sea shore, we arrived at Vergarra Pier.This really looked like industrial archeology.Vergarra pier was inaugurated in 1938. At the beginning was a coal loading area. Later it was used by CRAV (The Sugar Refinery Industry). It was rebuilt in...
filipdebont Says: 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...
filipdebont Says: Wulff Castle - Castillo Wullf - Chateau WulffAt Cerro Castillo (Castle hill) you find many castles and palaces, like the Palacio Presidencial, the presidents summer palace, the gardens can be visited.Closer to the Pacific Ocean, you find the Wullf castle. This Wulf castle...
filipdebont Says: Brunet Castle - Castillo Brunet - Chateau BrunetAt the other side of the river (Estero Marga Marga), you find Cerro Castillo (Castle Hill).One of the castles is Brunet Castle.It was designed by architect Alfredo Azancot. It was built in a Medieval Style; it looks like a...

Cuernavaca: El Sabor de tu Unico Norte
filipdebont Says: At night we went to a Mexican restaurant The Cuernavaca.Lucky for us that is was not so far from our hotel as it was raining, raining, raining, almost like a tropical rain shower.This Mexican restaurant has a cozy wooden interior and an open fire.Later on there was also life...
kiwigal_1 Says: This restaurant, although more expensive than the average seafood restaurant in the area, is worth a visit for the history and ambience, not to mention the excellent food and service. The restaurant sits over the sea and also contains a boutique hotel. I ate the Congrio Cap...

filipdebont Says: After lunch we left Santiago, and headed up North towards Vina del Mar.It was an organised trip, so transport was included, and they provided a big luxury Coach to bring us to Vina del MarWith only 20 persons in such a big bus, each one had a double seat for himself.Like...
kiwigal_1 Says: One of the cheapest ways to get to Viña is by bus. I have often made day trips from Santiago using this method of transport. The most convenient way for someone without a car is to take a bus. Buses in Santiago depart from the main terminal (Terminal Alameda) located at...
kiwigal_1 Says: In Chile the standard tip in a restaurant is 10% which is sometimes added onto the bill but more often than not you need to leave behind on the table. If paying by credit card you can ask to add the tip to the bill and indicate the standard 10%. Do not tip taxis.If you drive...
jlpretty Says: While I was walking I had a man in a soccer jersy try to Steal my purse. I screamed as loud as I could and he was unable to get it out of my hands but it was during the day and I was not in a private area....so hang on to your purse and watch around you. I am sure he was...
Davidpcs Says: It seems that there is a problem with the website for Pullman bus, I was comparing prices online and in the website of Pullman the price for a trip roundtrip to Viña from Santiago was 16,600 pesos which is obviously wrong. In TurBus it was only 6000 pesos. What is more there...
