The experience

The day moves through Viña del Mar, the Garden City, where the Flower Clock sits among palm-lined boulevards. Along Avenida Peru, the promenade runs past palaces built along the shore and the elegant 1930s casino. Your air-conditioned vehicle keeps the pace easy, and a local guide is with you the whole way, so you can simply look out at the coast as it unrolls.

Reñaca gives you wide sandy beaches, where sea lions rest on the rocks and surfers are out on the water, though what you spot depends on the day. Then Concón opens onto a nature sanctuary, with thousand-year-old dunes rising 120 m high and a view back over Valparaíso. Bring your camera, or just sit and take in the place where ocean and desert meet.

In Valparaíso the afternoon moves at the pace of the porteños. You ride the trolleybus, funiculars and microbuses through the hills of Cerro Alegre, with cobbled streets, heritage houses and a former palace now a 4-star hotel. Walls are covered in graffiti, and the Polanco funicular and its vertical elevator rising 80 m are part of the route. You can also see the Caleta Portales fish market, La Sebastiana and El Parque Cultural, the old jail turned cultural center. Cerro Concepción, in the heart of the UNESCO district, is known for its restaurants.
