Continue your exploration to Concepción Hill and the scenic boulevards of Gervasoni and Atkinson, where you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the bustling seaport—an emblematic feature of Valparaíso.
Next, journey to Viña del Mar, affectionately known as the "Garden City," where the coastline is adorned with picturesque beaches and dramatic rocky formations. Discover the city's highlights, including the charming Flower Clock, the pristine Renyaka Beach, the lively promenade, and the fascinating Fonck Museum.
After a day of exploration, you'll return to Santiago, with the tour lasting approximately 9 hours, including a break for lunch (not included).
