One of the most photographed attractions in Viña del Mar, the Flower Clock (Reloj de Flores) is a true symbol of the city. Located at the foot of Cerro Castillo, near Caleta Abarca Beach, this colorful floral masterpiece was originally built in 1962 to celebrate the FIFA World Cup hosted in Chile.

The clock is made entirely of natural flowers, carefully arranged to form the numbers and design of a working timepiece — and yes, it actually tells the correct time! The mechanisms are Swiss-made, while the vibrant floral face is maintained year-round, changing with the seasons to display different flower varieties and colors.

It’s the perfect photo stop for visitors — a place where nature, art, and engineering come together. With the ocean breeze, the sound of waves, and the beauty of Viña del Mar all around, the Flower Clock captures the essence of this “Garden City.”

Whether it’s your first time in Viña or a return visit, no trip is complete without a picture at the famous Flower Clock — the city’s most beloved postcard!

We’ll make our lunch stop at the Cap Ducal Restaurant, one of Viña del Mar’s most iconic landmarks, famous for its ship-shaped architecture and spectacular ocean views.

I’ll drop you off at the restaurant, where you’ll have about one hour to enjoy your meal and relax by the sea. Afterward, I’ll come back to pick you up so we can continue our journey toward Valparaíso.

Please note that lunch expenses are not included in the tour price — each guest will pay for their own meal.

The restaurant offers very reasonable prices and excellent food, especially fresh seafood dishes, which are highly recommended. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious lunch with a view before continuing our coastal adventure!

At this point of the tour, you will have the opportunity to choose between two different experiences, depending on your interests and travel style. Both options are highly recommended and showcase a unique side of Valparaíso.

Option 1: Valparaíso Boat Tour

This experience offers a relaxing boat ride around the port of Valparaíso, allowing you to see the city from the sea. From the water, you will enjoy panoramic views of the colorful hills, historic port infrastructure, and daily harbor activity. It is an ideal option for those who enjoy scenic views, photography, and a calm experience connected to the maritime identity of the city.

Option 2: Visit to La Sebastiana (Pablo Neruda’s House)

Alternatively, you may choose to visit La Sebastiana, the former home of Nobel Prize–winning poet Pablo Neruda. Located on Cerro Florida, this unique house-museum offers insight into Neruda’s life, creativity, and personal world, along with stunning panoramic views over Valparaíso and the Pacific Ocean. This option is perfect for guests interested in culture, literature, history, and art.

You are free to choose the activity that best suits your preferences, whether you prefer a maritime experience on the bay or a cultural visit to one of Chile’s most iconic literary landmarks. Both options provide a memorable and authentic Valparaíso experience.

We’ll finish our tour at the beautiful Paseo Yugoslavo, one of Valparaíso’s most famous viewpoints. Located on Cerro Alegre, this charming promenade offers spectacular panoramic views of the bay, the port, and the colorful hills that make Valparaíso so unique.

The area is surrounded by historic mansions, elegant European-style architecture, and several art galleries and cafés, making it a perfect place to relax, take photos, and enjoy the city’s artistic atmosphere.

Here you’ll also find the Baburizza Palace, home to the Museum of Fine Arts of Valparaíso, a stunning building that reflects the influence of early 20th-century European immigrants — especially the Yugoslav community that once lived here.

It’s the perfect ending to our tour, combining history, art, and breathtaking views before we begin our return journey.
