Highlights
  • Casablanca Valley Wine Route - The renowned valley near Santiago, celebrated internationally.

Get there as soon as possible to experience the authentic countryside. As you know, Chile is a prominent wine producer, making this business remarkable.

  • Bodegas RE - Chile is a well-known country for grape cultivation.

Enjoy a wine tasting session at this vineyard, whether you prefer red or white wine.

  • La Sebastiana - The famous home where everyone remembers Neruda.

Poetry is a part of our lives, and he received the Nobel Prize in Literature.

  • Valparaiso Puerto Magia - The port is quite significant and is a unique place in Chile.

It’s a place to remember Chilean history. Walking up and down the hills is fascinating, with murals and cultural streets making this city wonderfully contrasting and unforgettable.

  • Ascensor El Peral - Experience local life by using this transport system, in use since 1902 thanks to the British who introduced it.
  • Plaza Sotomayor - The main square serves as a meeting point for everyone, surrounded by beautiful buildings. It’s a great spot for photos.
  • Flower Clock (Reloj de Flores) - The garden is stunning, and Chileans remember the 1962 Soccer World Cup here. This place is a symbol of Viña del Mar and a perfect photo opportunity.
  • Quinta Vergara - The Vergara family used to live here. It’s a lovely place to visit with a beautiful garden, botanical park, and various activities such as expos, music festivals, and a museum.
  • Moai - When talking about Easter Island, people often think of Rapa Nui, the famous island. Here, you can see an original Rapa Nui statue. Most people just call it Easter Island. It’s a great spot for a couple of photos.

After this, we will stop at a restaurant for about an hour before heading back to Santiago, where the driver will drop you off at your hotel.

Additional Information

Inviting us into its unique geographical landscape, a country encourages us to explore Valparaiso and Viña del Mar. Situated 120 kilometers from the nation’s capital, our journey will weave through valleys, offering a glimpse of the heartland of Chile. A wine-tasting stop is arranged by our guide, a relaxed way to enjoy the trip. As we approach the coast, Valparaiso, Chile’s historic port city, reveals itself. A vibrant panorama reminiscent of a rainbow captures folkloric traditions and popular culture. Next, Viña del Mar presents an entirely distinct appeal with its unmistakable beauty. Remembrances of its founding aristocratic society linger in the city known as the ‘Garden City’. The stark contrast between these two cities allows us to delve into their shared history and the diverse socio-cultural aspects of Viña del Mar from a resident’s perspective.

Excellent guide - Our tour guide, Javier, was fantastic - so knowledgeable about Chile and enthusiastic. The driver, Luis, was also great. We liked the private tour so we could spend more time in the places that interested us more.

VERY BEAUTIFUL - Our guide loved the city and had relatives from there. We walked the streets and learned about the history of the city and port. We toured the house of Neruda. We ate at the "castle" and climbed the tower. We saw the Congress and learned why it was there instead of Santiago. We learned about the distinct areas of the city and the reason for their being. I highly recommend this tour and the beautiful city.

Good, but not great. - We enjoyed the wine tour, Pablo Neruda’s house, walking around Valparaiso, and lunch at the restaurant in Vina Del Mar. There was just enough time at the Easter Island statue outside the archeoogical museum to take a photo. The tour guide was very nice, but we would have liked more information about the sights that were pointed out, such as historical perspective and social context. Given the cost per person, maybe not the best value, since we also paid for lunch.
