Accepted Answer

-Flower Clock: This famous clock was built for the 1962 Soccer World FIFA Cup; this fully functioning botanical clock is still ticking. The clock is located along the seafront and is accessible 24 hours a day. - During this panoramic view we will see 'Wulff Castle', a historic palace in Viña del Mar that was built in 1906 for the Wulff family. Nowadays it is the headquarters of the City Heritage Center.  - We will also see Ross Castle, built in 1912 by the architect Cruz Montt, being an interesting building which holds years of history within a natural environment. Basically it is the Tudor architectural style born in England during the sixteenth century and whose characteristics are identified with the sophistication and wealth. -  This small but with a big seafood culture cove, called 'Caleta Portales', serves as the home to many fishermen, catching and selling fresh produce daily. Enjoy visiting this Fish Market just by the ocean where fisherman line their old and colourful boats side by side selling their daily catch, and learn from the guide all about the various fish and seafood from the cold Chilean Pacific Ocean. - Stroll down the pier and keep an eye out for sea lions, pelicans, cormorants and kelp gulls as they hang around the shore and will be extra friendly if you have fish.  - NOTE: This activity might be affected by the traffic during weekends. We suggest ONLY consider to stop in this beautiful place from Monday to Friday. - -'Moai' are monolithic human figures carved by the 'Rapa Nui' people on Easter Island in eastern Polynesia between the years 1250 and 1500. Carved at 'Rano Raraku', the main 'moai' quarry, these statues were transported from there and set on stone platforms called 'ahu' around the island's perimeter.  - This 'moai' was brought from Easter Island in 1951 and now is part of the collection of Fonck Archaeological museum. The guide will give you a comprehensive explanation about the island and the 'Rapa Nui' culture.  - *NOTE: You can also visit the interesting Fonck Museum but entrance tickets are NOT INCLUDED, they will be covered by the passengers. Fees are USD 4 per person. - Palacio Carrasco, built by Emilio Carrasco -a wealthy mines owner- in 1912, now houses the Municipal Library and it is also used for arts exhibitions. The building is also surrounded by nice gardens adorned with fine sculptures including 'La defense' an original Auguste Rodin bronze statue. - This sculpture was originally made by the artist to commemorate the defense of Paris during the French-Prussian War but it didn't win the contest.  - Later Rodin himself offered it to the Chilean government -as a memorial- but this proposal was rejected. Finally in 1964, the City of Viña del Mar bought one of the 12 'authorized' and signed by the artist statues, therefore an original one. - We then drive through Viña del Mar, Chile’s “Garden City,” where you will enjoy a panoramic view of the city, the local Casino as well as the city’s pristine beaches to finally reach the 'Oceanic Rock' and the majestic 'Dunes of Concon'. - The 'Oceanic Rock' is a must see in this region, being actually one of the most amazing and important scenery to be visited here.  - This attraction is the lowermost and oldest outcropping formation in the Chilean Central Coast and it was generated in the 'Quaternary Period', 25 million years ago. As far as their geological aspect, this place is considered a unique site as various climatic, petrographic, topographic, oceanic, biogeographic and phytogeographic aspects. - The birdlife of this Oceanic Rock is considerably rich in sea birds; here bird lovers can easily find majestic creatures such as Cormorants, Guanay-ducks, Grey gulls, Kelp gulls, Snow terns, Pelicans and other migratory species as Banded plovers, Baird’s sandpipers and Common snipes. - -Panoramic view of the historic Quarter of the Seaport City of Valparaiso: this vibrant city is an exceptional testimony to the early phase of globalization in the late 19th century, when it became the leading commercial port on the sea routes of the Pacific coast of South America.  - We are going to stroll these plenty of history streets, heading towards the two most eclectic hills on this seaport driving up on winding, narrow and steep hillside lanes. - All throughout Valparaíso, you’ll see tons of house walls full of street art, but Templeman St. is definitely one of the most beautiful alleys. Here we start the street art pathways!  - As we walked through the streets we will be amazed by all the beautiful wall paintings and 'graffiti'. - Gervasoni Promenade: This is one of the beautiful walks to be taken that combine heritage architecture with grand lookout points. 'Paseo Gervasoni' on Cerro Concepción offers a magnificent sight over Valparaiso's history, so you just have to get lost in the streets of this hill and allow yourself to be surprised and accept the enchantment. - *Atkinson Promenade: Nestled in one of the oldest and most traditional hills of the seaport of Valparaíso, this short and unique in its category promenade overlooking the harbor in the historic part of the city, shows the visitors how European settlers lived in the nineteenth century in a purest British Victorian style. - Also you could see awesome views of the East side of Valparaiso, hills, and the Centenary Catholic and Dissident cemeteries.  - *Dimalow Promenade: An interesting alley which take you to 'Ascensor Reina Victoria' (elevator/lift/funicular) that is located at the very end of this 'boulevard'. There is a small 'belvedere' that joins the elevator with Montt Street; here visitors can find lovely 'cafés' and good places to eat.  - The elevator was named 'Reina Victoria' honoring Her Majesty Queen Victoria who died one year before the elevator was inaugurated (in 1902). Many important people from the British colony lived in this neighborhood. - We will take a ride in this quaint 'ascensor' to get the plain side of Valparaiso and enjoying the street art in Atahualpa St. - NOTE: This is an optional excursion during this full day experience in Valparaíso. But it is a 'must see' and also is a 'Mecca' for those who are on the hunt for good street art destinations in the world.  - Atahualpa lane is such an exceptional spot where each door has been decorated by a different artist; it is highly recommended to walk around this section in Valparaíso, as it seemed every alley and sidewalk has many treasures to display to the street art lovers. - In the center of this square is the Monument to the Heroes of the Pacific Ocean War (1879) where Captain Arturo Prat was the leader of the main battle; it was inaugurated in 1885. - Heritage buildings surround Prat's monument, and one of the most remarkable is perhaps the old Intendance, which currently houses the Chilean Navy Headquarter. We could also see in this spot the First Fire Company of Chile and the Ministry of Culture, Art and Heritage which show us its particular 'Bauhaus' architectural style. - After this attraction we will head straight towards Santiago to drop you off in your accommodation place. - Cheers!
