Seeing the World – One Month at a Time

Photo of the Day – Vina del Mar, Chile

The beachside resort of Viña del Mar

Founded in 1874 as a weekend retreat for the wealthy elite from Santiago, most Chileans refer to the city simply as “Viña.”   The golden beaches, manicured lawns and elegant resorts are a stark contrast to the nearby colorful but ramshackle town of Valparaiso.  Both cities are easily reachable from Santiago via a 90-minute drive through Chile’s beautiful Casablanca wine region.  But what’s the rush?  Take your time on the drive and stop to taste some of Chile’s most famous exports.
