Itinerary

1. This four-story home, offering 360 degree views of the city, is highlighted by "the jar of smoke," a round, post-modern fireplace designed by Neruda himself.

   20 min

2. A beautiful lookout spot for aerial sightseeing.

4. Bordering the famous port in the center of Valparaiso, this popular plaza contains the country's naval headquarters.

   20 min

5. The impressive square-arched government building was moved from Santiago to protect it from socialist bombings in the 1970's.

   Passes by

6. Many vintage chilean buildings line this hilly street, a popular site for a walking tour.

   30 min

7. This turn-of-the-century palace pays homage to the city's 16th century roots and currently houses the Fine Arts Museum.

   15 min

8. This impressive "fortress" is one of Valparaiso's most architecturally awe-inspiring military buildings.

   20 min

9. The amazing eastern views provided by this magnificent hilltop are some of the best in the country.

   20 min

10. The War of the Pacific in the 1880's was a major punctuation point in the history of Chile. The Chilean armed forces, anchored by the Navy, eventually triumphed over Bolivia and Peru. Chile seized land in the north with valuable mineral resources (saltpeter and copper), trashed Lima, and pushed Bolivia back from the seacoast into land locked status. Anyone wondering about whether these successes are important and well-remembered should spend some time looking up this quite impressive monument to the victory and its leaders. The monument also serves as a focal point of Sotomayor Square and can be seen from many of the surrounding hills.

    20 min

11. This National Monument is a nineteenth century castle that currently serves as a cultural center.

12. One of the main drags that hugs the ocean with breathtaking views.

• 2Not the tour paid for

  Tour provider picked us up at San Antonio Cruise Terminal. He then began to drive us towards the Maipo Valley. When we asked why were not going to Valparaiso he advised us that he was not contracted to do that and it was too far out of the way. He, instead, took us to the Unduraga Winery tour and toured us around Santiago before dropping us off at our hotel.

• 1Incorrect itinerary and poor logistics

  Extremely disappointed with this experience. The tour we ended up on was completely different from the one advertised and booked. Instead of our planned itinerary, the guide took us to Santiago and essentially did whatever they wanted. To make matters worse, there were no stops for lunch or even drinks throughout the day. The only saving grace was that it ended up being a private tour (just us), but that doesn't make up for missing the sights we actually paid to see.

• 4Nice vehicle, great...

  Nice vehicle, great driver, great guide - a relaxing day. The wine tasting was well worth it - a great winery.

• 4santiago/valparaise tor

  it provided a good view of Chile and, since we had to make the 50+ mile trip to board our cruise in San Antonio, it was a good idea. As a good general view of the area around Santiago and Valparaiso it was good. as an in depth tour of the area, there wasn't a great deal of time. I would do the same tour again if I was in our situation--it took a long bus trip and gave it some value

• 1Not to be Trusted

  The people who run this tour are unfriendly and un-cooperative. We were being picked up on the tour from the cruise ship terminal, but they said they would drop us off at a hotel in town. I asked them what it would cost for a cab from the hotel to the ship and how long it would take to get back ...their nasty response was "I don't care about (giving you) the information you request" ...where do you want to be dropped off.!! Hardly someone who cares about their customers. And to make matters worse, we cancelled the tour one day after we made the booking, and 23 days before we scheduled to be on it, and they refused to give us our money back...despit the policy which clearly states "cancellations make within ONE DAY of the activity cannot be refunded. Stay away from this place.

About San Antonio

San Antonio is a port city on Chile's central coast, with a fishing cove, long beaches and Pablo Neruda's seaside house close by.

San Antonio stands at the mouth of the Maipo River on the Pacific coast of central Chile, west of Santiago. Its harbour is among the busiest in the country for cargo, but the old fishing cove still runs along the waterfront, where boats land their catch and pelicans and gulls wait for scraps. The town climbs the hills behind in streets of low houses.
