Casablanca Valley and Pacific Ocean Coast

The second day will begin with a tour towards the Casablanca Valley, world-renowned for its wine production. We’ll stop off at the Emiliana vineyard for a tour around its incredible organic vines, where we’ll have the opportunity to sample several types of grape along with locally-produced cheese or chocolate.

After exploring the vineyard, we will continue our journey towards Valaparaíso, famous for being home to the most important South Pacific port of the late 19^th and early 20^th century, currently the country’s main port for cargo and passenger ships. Once we arrive there, we will begin our tour on foot around the UNESCO World Heritage Site, visiting the port and the Plaza Sotomayor y Aníbal Pinto, the Alegre, Concepción y Florida or Artillería Hills, use local public transport such as the trolleybus and one of the region’s elevators. While in the city, we will be able to enjoy the street art as well as various views of the hills, port, and ocean, and explore some of the churches as well as having time for lunch in a local restaurant (not included) before returning to Santiago.
