Enjoy a scenic journey from the pier in Valparaiso to the capital of Chile. Santiago de Chile is a city of contrasts. With remnants of its colonial past to the ultramodern, high-rise buildings of the financial center, this metropolis will surprise you. You begin by heading south through the downtown area, passing the Club Hipico, a manicured horseracing track in the older residential part of the city. Proceed alongside the Parque O’Higgins and the La Moneda Presidential Palace. See the lively Plaza de Armas, the city’s main square. From San Cristobal Hill, you will have a panoramic view of Santiago and the Andes Mountains. Lunch will be served in a typical local restaurant on the hill and in the late afternoon you will transfer back to the pier in Valparaíso with a drive through the resort town of Vina del Mar en route.
Note: This tour is only available to guests returning to the ship. Travel time to Santiago is two hours each way.
