Top 10 Things to See and Do in Viña del Mar, Chile

Chile is known for its oceanic delights, so it stands to reason that an upmarket seaside town would be full of succulent seafood eateries. From high end fine dining restaurants to beachfront ceviche stalls, there’s plenty of opportunities to sample the fruits of the sea in Viña del Mar. To pick just one, Donde Willy has amazing main courses starting from just 10 bucks. Pretty hard to beat, really.

This international song festival is massive in Latin America, attracting legions of the hottest singer-songwriters from all over the continent. Held in a specially built amphitheater in the picturesque Quinta Vergara during February each year, the event is televised to millions of adoring fans. Not convinced? Even illustrious gringos like Sir Elton John have graced the stage.

Quirky or cheesy? You decide. Either way, there’s no denying the colorful Reloj de Flores is one of Viña’s most photographed attractions. Since 1962 its Swiss-made hands have been chiming on the hour, every hour as they pass over a colorful bed of flowers. If you haven’t got a selfie with the reloj, then you haven’t really been to Viña.
