You depart early in the morning and head to Valparaiso. Upon arrival, you ascend Cerro Florida to visit Pablo Neruda's residence, "La Sebastiana," which is filled with interesting artifacts and furniture in its original condition. The house boasts a breathtaking view of the Pacific as it overlooks the bay. After exploring the museum, you wander around Cerro Concepción and Cerro Alegre to witness Valparaíso's unique architecture, including the steep and winding streets lined with colorful small houses, cafes, stores, and restaurants. The hills provide an excellent vantage point to admire the port and appreciate the city's diverse street art. You then use one of the iconic funicular elevators to descend the hill and walk to the main square, "Sotomayor," where you see the monument honoring the heroes of the Pacific War and the National Navy headquarters, located in the historic port neighborhood.
Following this part of the tour, you proceed to the neighboring coastal city of Viña del Mar, which has a trendy beach atmosphere. You stop for lunch at a seaside restaurant before admiring the famous "flower clock" and visiting the city's main square with the amphitheater that hosts the renowned Viña del Mar International Song Festival every summer. The tour concludes with our return journey to Santiago, allowing us to reflect on the day's colorful sights and poetry.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.

I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!
