Viña del Mar (Viña del Mar) - one of the most popular Chilean resorts in the Pacific. Founded at the end of the 19th century, he became so fond of his luxurious beaches to the bankers and powerful industrialists of Chile that by the middle of the 20th century had turned into a sort of "holiday village for his own". To build here a mansion or a palace among the powerful of this world was considered a good form. Since then, Viña del Mar is filled with exquisite quarters with fashionable manor houses, and its beaches are with holidaymakers of all kinds.
Today Viña del Mar is actually a single whole with the city of Valparaiso. But if the second one is a typical Chilean city, moderately dirty, insanely authentic and atmospheric, Viña is still a resort: licked, decent, tourist. What does not cancel the beauty of its beaches, the quality of hotels and a lot of opportunities for a classy beach holiday.

Entertainment, sightseeing and sightseeing Viña del Mara
Viña del Mar is not accidentally called a garden city, all its streets are more like park alleles than a popular tourist center .Banana trees and palm trees with lush emerald foliage everywhere accompany travelers, giving them a cozy shade on a sultry day .But to fully relax from the heat, and at the same time to enrich yourself culturally, you can in one of the museums of the city .For example, in the Museum of Fine Arts, which is located in the Palace of Vergara .Built on the orders of Blanky Vergara, the daughter of the city's founder engineer, this mansion surely deserves a visit to .This name is also connected with another attraction of Vigny - namely the City Theater, which is located on the square of Vergara .
It is worth visiting the museum of Francisco Fonca, which is dedicated to archeology and natural history. Here you can get acquainted with the historical heritage of Chile (jewelry and ceramic products created by tribes living here, clothing and shoes of Indians).
Finally, it is worth paying attention to the cultural center of the resort - the former palace of the oligarch Carrasco (which there, in fact, never lived, but immediately gave it to the city). All kinds of exhibitions and concerts, conferences and even performances are held here. And also here the luxurious library of Benjamin Vicuña Macqueny found shelter.
Festivals and events
Viña del Mar is also famous for its bright holidays and events, among which the most famous are the festival of Latin American cinema and the festival of fireworks and salutes. The famous International Song Festival, held every February since 1959, stands apart. On the stage of the amphitheater of Verger (again he, yes-yes) are not only local Chilean stars, but also maestros from around the world. Almost round the clock sounds the sounds of salsa and reggae, rock and latino. Photo by Viña del Mar (9)
