What you can expect

Quaint hillside 'ascensores' (funiculars) will bring you up into the city's steep hills, where a labyrinth of narrow streets and alleys reveals brightly coloured buildings, bohemian cafes, elegant restaurants, and of course we'll explore the street art on hidden alleys. We'll scout two of the most famous and eclectic hills: Cerro Concepción and Cerro Alegre. Afterwards, you will enjoy local cuisine inspired by the fresh seafood & fish, seasonal produce and fine coastal white wines in one of the various restaurants nestled in these picturesque hills. Also we'll enjoy visiting Viña del Mar with its Easter Island original extant statue, the Oceanic Rock, the Sea Lions sanctuary along the magnificent beaches of Reñaca and ConCon and a unique and a vibrant Fish Market where you can see the boats arriving with the fresh produce.
