Coast: Viña del Mar & Quintay

Two unforgettable days on the Chilean coast reveal the country at its most enchanting — where the Pacific Ocean, vibrant culture and world-class wine tourism come together.

Day one begins with a journey from Santiago toward the sea. Your first stop is Viña del Mar, the elegant "Garden City," known for its cosmopolitan atmosphere, iconic Flower Clock, lush gardens and inviting urban beaches. From there, you continue to Valparaíso, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage city. Among the colorful hills of Alegre and Concepción, you’ll find vibrant houses, striking street art and authentic portside gastronomy that capture the soul of Chile’s coastal life. On the return to Santiago, you can opt to visit a boutique winery in the Casablanca Valley, a cool-climate region celebrated as the cradle of some of Chile’s finest white wines.

Day two focuses on exclusivity and coastal charm. You start at Casas del Bosque, recognized among the world’s best wineries to visit, where you can choose a guided bike tour through the vineyards in the morning or indulge in a curated tasting session. Later, you head to the picturesque Caleta de Quintay, a historic fishing village famed for its fresh seafood and maritime heritage. Nearby lies the breathtaking Playa Grande de Quintay, one of the most beautiful landscapes on the Valparaíso coast and a marine biology study site for the University of Chicago.

In just two days, this journey offers a deeper, more beautiful perspective on Chile — from its coastal culture and Pacific vistas to its refined wine traditions.
