Viña del Mar

by IIGUANA - last update: Sep 3, 2006

Viña del Mar: My hometown

Wulff Castle and the Pacific Ocean
Viña del Mar is often called the "garden city" due to its many gardens around and palm trees. It's a rather modern city, with nice beaches and very close to Santiago, Chile's capital city. For the same reason, it's a very common destination for people living in Santiago.
Viña del Mar's best season is definately during the summer, in January and February. There's lots to do during the summer, and there are lots of tourist attractions.
Viña's peak event is the "Festival de la Canción" (Song Festival) which is an international song festival with lots of latin and english music concerts. It lasts 1 week, and it's always during the 3rd week of February.
So come to Viña, you'll enjoy it!!!

 Thanks for all your advice Jorge. I had to come explore your pages again and glad I found this beautiful town! Would love to visit! If we rented motorbikes from Santiago, is it an easy ride to get here? Any wineries close by? Sounds like a gem of a city!
