Viña del Mar, next to Valparaíso, is Chile's main beach resort, known as the 'Garden City' for its parks and avenues. It hosts the famous Viña del Mar International Song Festival.

The city

The Flower Clock, made of living flowers, is the city's symbol. Wulff Castle stands on rocks above the sea. The Quinta Vergara park has a palace and the open-air amphitheater of the song festival.

Beaches

The seafront avenue runs past beaches like Acapulco and Reñaca, popular in summer. The Pacific is cold, but the sunsets are beautiful.
