Funicular ride back to the hotel at Valparaiso


Today we took a day trip to Vina Del Mar located just a couple of kilometers north from Valparaiso. Easiest enough to get there by subway that goes along the coast.

Very different from Valparaiso, Vina is more of a resort town with long stretches of sandy beaches. Our visit included a walk along the beach, saw more pelicans, a stop at the Flower Clock, the Wulff Castle.

Took a Caleche ride and saw most of the town in style.

Went by the Fonck Museum which has a large moai (Easter Island statue made of volcanic rock), the only one in mainland Chile.

We gave back some of our money to the Casino. Didn't feel too bad it was only Chilean Pesos.

Took the subway and then another Funicular ride back to the hotel and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon on the roof top terrace.
