Beaches and parks. Tranquility on its sunny mornings, exciting bohemian activities during its sparkling nights. Viña del Mar: a quietly enchanting city. Viña del Mar: lithe suntanned bodies lying on beaches washed by the Pacific. Viña del Mar: Chile's most important beach resort and one of the main seaside resorts in South America.

Unending peace and quiet on its refreshing beaches and pleasant walks along streets surrounded by lovely greenery and flowers, turning Viña del Mar into a "Garden City" with dreamily beautiful places such as the Quinta Vergara, the Sausalito lake and the National Botanical Gardens.

A mixture of new and old buildings, countless parks and gardens, beautiful mansions, luxurious hotels, and even a casino complete the urban landscape of this coastal city founded on December 29, 1874 by engineer Jose Francisco Vergara Echevers.

A destination not to be missed. A sure stop-off 9 kilometers northeast of Valparaiso. Viña del Mar, a sunlit haven, a city and beach resort where the Pacific sea breeze wafts the eternal sound of breakers.
