Quinta Vergara
The one spot besides the beaches
where you might want to spend
some time in Viña del Mar is the
lovely Quinta Vergara park (daily
7am-7pm), where the manicured
grounds are home to a vast array of
exotic imported plants. It is located a
couple of blocks south of Plaza Vergara
behind the Metrotrén Estación Viña,
with the futuristic-looking Anfiteatro ,
home to the annual music festival, as
its centrepiece.

outcrop at the mouth of the estuary
by a Valparaíso businessman in 1906.
Located next to the large Reloj de Flores
(“flower clock”), the beach draws a lively
picnicking crowd on weekends. Just
north of the estuary, Avenida Perú runs
parallel to the sea, past the brash Casino
Viña del Mar . Beyond you will find an
almost unbroken line of sandy beaches,
backed by high-rise apartment buildings,
stretching all the way to the smaller resort
of Reñaca , which itself has more good
beaches and nightlife.
