What to do and see in Vina del Mar, Valparaiso Region: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

February 11, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

The most popular beach resort in the country, Vina del Mar is within reach of both Santiago and Valparaiso. Vina teems with tourists during peak months December, January and February, despite Antarctic currents that make swimming a formidable prospect. Renaca is the hippest spot to sink onto the sands. The Fonck Museum and Quinta Vergara provide insights into the area's recent and ancient history, archaeology and natural history. Stroll along Avenida Peru and take in stunning ocean views.

Funicular Villanelo

Reviewed By WImom - Fond du Lac, United States

If you take this funicular to the top, there is a great view of the city and ocean! There are also many vendors with their local crafts for sale. Inexpensive funicular but can only accommodate a small amount of people.
