Viña del Mar (Description courtesy of lonely planet)
Chile's premier beach resort is just a two-hour bus ride west of Santiago. The bustling commercial centre is also known as the Garden City, for reasons that are immediately obvious to any visitor. Viña del Mar developed as a playground for wealthy santiaguinos when nearby Valparaíso was linked to the capital by rail. It isn't a sinuously terraced marvel like Valparaíso, so its two distinct sectors of traditional mansions and commercial activity are easy to navigate. Horse-drawn carriages trot past attractive turn-of-the-century mansions on both river and beach frontages. The town is also the home of Chile's national botanical garden, comprising 61ha (151ac) of native and exotic plants. White-sand beaches stretch from the town centre northward to the overbuilt suburbs of Reñaca and Concón. For a less crowded swim and bake, it's perhaps best to continue on to the less suburban Horcón, Maitencillo, Cachagua and Papudo. Other than aquatic activities, Viña del Mar has a clutch of museums and the magnificently landscaped Quinta Vergara public park, with its Palacio Vergara. The Venetian-style palazzo was formerly the residence of the prosperous Alvarez-Vergara family, and now hosts the Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes. Buses head out to Viña from Santiago every 15 minutes.
