We ended our cruise at port Valparaiso, Chile. We never expected such a beautiful city with lots of history and colorful houses and shops on steep hills overlooking the ocean. Santiago is about an hour from this port so we had a tour to pick us up and tour the city and then ended in Santiago. We then took a coastal drive to Vina del Mar, which is known as the "Garden City". We had lunch at the Wulff Castle overlooking the ocean. Visited the Floral Clock and our guide made the day fantastic with a visit to all the highlights of this city.
We then headed through the Casablanca Wine region on our way to Santiago stopping at one vineyard to enjoy the spectacular view of the valley. We'll return here in a couple of days for a more comprehensive tour.
The weather is Valpariso was fabulous, as we cross the valley Santiago is much drier and warmer with temps in the upper 80's. Our hotel is right in the heart if the city so we can walk to many attractions. Great day!
