📍 Destination Overview
Vina del Mar, meaning 'Vineyard by the Sea,' sits on central Chile's Pacific coast beside Valparaiso, the country's favourite seaside resort, known as the Garden City for its flower-filled streets. Marked by the floral clock and one of South America's oldest casinos, its beaches draw summer crowds, the February Song Festival is a highlight, and Quinta Vergara Park has peacocks.
