Itinerary

1. We begin with a scenic coastal drive through Concón. Along the way, you'll spot the beaches where beginner surfers catch their first waves and the local seafood spots that give this shoreline its character.

   Passes by

2. We step out at a strategic vantage point to take in the full sweep of the Bay of Valparaíso and its dramatic coastal geography.

   15 min

3. As we continue along the coast, your guide shares how the bay began as a family holiday retreat in the early 1900s, a story brought to life by the contrast with today's modern condominiums and resorts in Concón and Reñaca, famous for their soft golden sand.

   Passes by

4. We stop to observe this natural rock formation up close, where sea lions, fish and seabirds share their habitat.

   30 min

5. En route, we pass the Chilean Navy complex, a self-contained community where naval personnel study, live and unwind, closely woven into local life.

   Passes by

6. A panoramic drive through Viña del Mar, Chile's "Garden City," where relaxed seaside living meets a lively evening scene and the iconic Casino de Viña del Mar, the country's first.

   Passes by

7. A heritage stop to admire, from the outside, the castles and palaces of Viña del Mar, built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the wealthiest families chose to live in grand residences by the sea.

   Passes by

8. We step into the daily life of a traditional fishing cove, where customs, craft, family and community come together, and sea lions and pelicans emerge from the water to mingle with the fishermen just a few feet away.

   45 min

9. We wind our way up the narrow, serpentine streets of this UNESCO World Heritage city, its heritage buildings and hillside neighborhoods unfolding outside your window.

   Passes by

10. We stop at the historic cemeteries of Cerro Panteón, especially the Dissidents' Cemetery, a powerful testament to the cultural and religious encounters that shaped Valparaíso.

    20 min

11. A guided walk through the colorful streets of Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción, a true open-air museum where street art and design take over every wall and corner.

    1 h

12. Around 12:30 we arrive at a restaurant where we have reserved a preferential table with sweeping views of the bay. Please note: the reservation only secures your preferred seating. Meals and drinks are NOT included in the tour price and are paid directly at the restaurant.

About Santiago

Santiago, Chile's capital, sits in a broad valley beneath the snowy Andes, a city of hilltop parks, bohemian neighbourhoods and vineyards close by.

The Plaza de Armas, with its cathedral and grand old post office, is the historic heart, and the neoclassical La Moneda Palace stands a few blocks away. The Museum of Pre-Columbian Art holds treasures from across the Americas, and the Central Market serves seafood beneath a soaring iron roof.
