Plaza Sotomayor is a square located in the Chilean city of Valparaíso. Considered the largest civic center in the city, as well as the main axis of the Barrio Puerto, important buildings are located there, such as the Monument to the Heroes of Iquique, where the remains of Arturo Prat lie, and the Chilean Navy Building, corresponding to the old Intendancy.1 Currently it is also constituted as an important archaeological center, since in its subsoil are located the remains of the first public dock of the port built with the remains of the Esmeralda frigate captured by Thomas Cochrane from the Spanish navy.
The history of Viña del Mar begins with the arrival of the conquistadors and the division of the Peuco Valley into two large haciendas: the "Seven Sisters", named after the seven hills that are located between Cerro Castillo and Cerro Barón, and "La Viña del Mar", named after the vineyards planted on the land now occupied by the Palacio Rioja. Around 1870, the sole heiress of the lands that gave rise to Viña del Mar was Doña Mercedes Álvarez, married to José Francisco Vergara, an engineer who had come to the region to work on the railway works. It was he who drew up a project, approved on December 29, 1874, through which the city of Viña del Mar was officially founded, and five years later, the Illustrious Municipality.
From the north, and after Cochoa, Reñaca beach is the second coastal area of the city of Viña del Mar. Subdivided into sectors, from 1st to 5th, this series of beach resorts is one of the busiest during the summer. Each sector has an attractive gastronomic, sports and service offer, which makes each one of them the ideal place to enjoy the long summer days and, also, for walks during the rest of the year.

Very good tour, the guide Valentina and the driver Luis very helpful. The only problem is on the turn that they don't leave people in the hotels where they picked up to go for the walk. They leave on the street of the hotel independent of the distance to be traveled, for those travelling with children and the elderly this is a problem after a whole day of tour.
Thank you very much to Paulina for this great city tour. It was perfect 🤩
Great experience alongside amazing people with the Valentina tour guide who was very attentive and helpful. Tour I recommend and would do again.
Very nice experience and the warmth of the guide, as well as that of the driver, who were super agency. The excursion is worth it; if you are undecided, I recommend this one, I hope it helps.
About the company, the guide is very self-centered, can't get a single negative feedback without taking to the personal side and still doesn't explain anything. does not do his role of guide, in addition to going through places that are not on the route. after the feedback, still completely ignored our existence. The driver is also very polite, calling people foolish and joining the guide to ignore us. The idea was to pick everyone in front of the hotel and leave us in front of the hotel, but, on the turn, we had to walk 2 blocks. We were completely disrespected during this trip, both by the guide and by the driver, as well as by passengers from other countries who joined together and ignored us.
Gracias por su comentario ya sabemos quien es usted mandamos el reporte a su agencia anulando todos sus tours por ser una persona violeta, mal educada y tratar mal a la guía y al conductor mandamos las pruebas, audios y fotos de su mal comportamiento.
Oh, bad. At first the guide did not explain things in Valparaiso, it was all very fast. Then there was the option to go down the elevator and she did not give this option and when we complained she did not accept the criticism. Then they say they pick you up and leave you at the hotel, but since the driver was in a hurry, he didn't leave us at the hotel. We walked a little. That is, they do not meet the agreement. I do not recommend. Still the driver ***** a fool pedestrian on the street. Both the guide and the driver have no posture. I do not recommend.

I liked it; it was a very beautiful and special day. I only have one observation regarding the first stop: the place was very expensive, it was very cold, and there was nothing to warm up; I mean those heaters that are used. And it is so early that there is no desire to drink wine, well, the tasting.
An overly complete tour, the guide was very friendly and full of experience
Wonderful places, very lively guide
Guia Ignácio is a phenomenon, made our tour too valuable.
