Santiago

1 h 30 min

Begin your journey with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or AirBnB in Santiago, and set off towards the coast. As we drive, you'll pass through the lush, fertile valleys of Curacaví and Casablanca, known for their beautiful landscapes and rich agricultural heritage.
Paseo 21 de Mayo

30 min

Upon arriving in Valparaíso, we'll begin exploring the vibrant, street art-adorned alleyways. Our first stop will be Paseo 21 de Mayo, also known as Artillería, where you'll enjoy one of the best views of Valparaíso's iconic harbor.
Plaza Sotomayor

30 min

After taking in the stunning views of the harbor, we'll descend to Plaza Sotomayor, Valparaíso's historic main square, rich with European architecture. Here, you'll admire the impressive Naval Headquarters building and the monument honoring Arturo Prat, one of Chile's most celebrated national heroes.
Cerro Alegre

45 min

Now it's time to explore the winding streets of Cerro Alegre, where you'll encounter remarkable murals by renowned Chilean and international artists. You'll also have the chance to view more of their work at local art galleries. Of course, no visit is complete without a stroll along Paseo Yugoslavo, a charming promenade lined with beautiful alleyways and dominated by the imposing Museum of Fine Arts.
Cerro Concepcion

45 min

After exploring Cerro Alegre, we'll head to the nearby neighborhood of Cerro Concepción, where you'll admire the colorful houses built by British and German immigrants in the late 19th century. Here, you'll also visit other charming promenades, such as Atkinson and Dimalow.

Vina del Mar

45 min

Before heading back to Santiago, we'll take a walk along the shore of Acapulco Beach, enjoying views of the Viña del Mar Casino, the first casino in Chile. We'll also visit the Fonck Museum to see an original Moai, brought directly from Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in 1951.
