2 Viña del Mar City One of the most important social centres for summer vacations in South America, located only 120 km from Santiago in a incredibly naturally beautiful rocky coast. The central zone can be travelled through by a route next to the sea that follows the curves of the steep coast where it is possible to enjoy a very good gastronomic offer of sea products in the typical restaurants installed in front of the Pacific Ocean.

Reñaca, Concón, Santo Domingo, Algarrobo and Isla negra, being the latter the place where the poet and the Literature Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda built one of his three houses, are some of the places that can be visited.
