Pacific beaches and the breath of history- Viña del Mar and Valparaiso(from/to Santiago)
Full day excursion to Valparaíso, the oldest port in Chile. Truly a picturesque city in every respect of the word. It retains tremendous historical significance as well as being home to the Chilean House of Assembly. During your city tour you shall visit the new government houses, the Plaza Sotomayor, the Plaza Victoria, the cathedral, the harbor area and “La Sebastiana”, the former house of the Chilean writer and Nobel Prize Winner Pablo Neruda. High above the city there is a fantastic agglomeration of brightly painted homes. The upper and lower parts of the city are connected with 16 funicular railways constructed around the turn of the century (1900) when the city experienced tremendous growth.
