Free cancellation, 24h
A day on the Pacific coast: the gardens and seafront of Viña del Mar, then the painted hills of Valparaíso, their old lifts, and Pablo Neruda's house above the bay.
The day
Viña in the morning, Valparaíso for the rest of the day. The hills are best on foot, so the car waits below.
07:00
Your hotel
Collected anywhere in Santiago. The coast is about two hours away by motorway.
08:45
Viña del Mar
The flower clock, the Wulff Castle on the rocks and a walk along the seafront.
10:30
Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción
The hills of the historic port, listed by UNESCO: steep lanes, painted houses, murals and viewpoints over the bay. Up and down by one of the old funiculars.
Funicular fare not included
12:30
Lunch in Valparaíso
On the hills or down by the port, as you like.
13:45
La Sebastiana
Pablo Neruda's tall, narrow house on Cerro Bellavista, full of the things he collected, with windows over the whole bay.
Entrance not included
15:15
Back to Santiago
Through the Casablanca valley and its vineyards.
