Built for the 1962 World Cup, a bright bed of flowers forms a clock with functional operation.
Slide 1 of 8
This is a beautifully landscaped flower clock that blooms throughout the year and is symbolic of picturesque Viña del Mar. This attraction is definitely worth a visit when in the Valparaiso area of Chile.
It was a flower clock .. what can I say !!!! Ah, Viña del Mar! Okay, the Flower Clock there... right. It's one of those "tourist attraction" things. You know, you see it in the brochures, and you think, "Okay, sure, why not?" And then you get there, and it's… a clock made of flowers. Exactly as advertised. Look, it's not offensive. It's kind of cute, I guess. People were definitely taking photos, doing the whole "pose and smile" routine. I did too, because, well, when in Viña del Mar, right? But let's be honest, it's not exactly a "must-see." It's a quick pit stop, a photo op, and then you're off to find something more interesting. Viña del Mar has so much more to offer – the beaches, the coastline, the gardens. Compared to those, the Flower Clock just feels a bit… meh. It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's not exactly a highlight. If you're walking along the coast, it's a nice little diversion. But if you're on a tight schedule, you're not missing out on much if you skip it. Basically, it's a clock. Made of flowers. In Viña del Mar. If that sounds like your thing, go for it. If not, there are plenty of other, more exciting things to do in the city.
The maintenance and well manicured flowers was amazing to see up close. You can only appreciate the beauty in person
A pretty flower clock. The beach is nearby. Worth the 5 min visit to have a quick look, but nothing too special.
Standing before the Flower Clock in Viña del Mar felt like stepping into a postcard. The vibrant, meticulously arranged flowers forming the clock face create a stunning contrast against the lush greenery. It's more than just a landmark—it's a symbol of the city's charm and attention to detail.
Hi my name is Daniela, nice place to stop by and take photos. A lot of tourists
Very beautiful and well maintained area. The clock is fully functional, but the area can get very busy with tourists and people. Parking is very limited, and usually, tour busses fill them up. You will only spend a few minutes here, but it's pretty to look at.
A landmark to visit - we were on a tour. The tour guide provided the history of the clock.

It’s a beautiful beach, super clean and full of vibrant positive people, respectful tourists, most of whom are from Argentina. If you’re thinking about getting into the ocean and swim a little bit, get that thought out of your mind, the water is super cold and impossible to swim.
Absolutely breathtaking! Can’t think of a time I felt more relaxed. Even if it was a quick visit.
One of the best beaches of Viña Del Mar. Nice costanera for a walk, full of restaurants and hotels to stay.
Very good ! Nice beach, but considering it’s a Chilean Pacific beach, that means , cold water, windy and not a real real summer. The beach almost disappears because of the short beach and is always like a well and is quite dangerous. It is not a beach suitable for swimming or enjoying the water. But the palace is beautiful because of the people that are almost all of them Mendocineans. It’s a nice place I think one of the best close to Santiago. But summarizing Chilean beaches are not good at all. Atlantic is way way better with Long Beaches… But the view is beautiful!!
Reñaca is an area known for its beaches and balnearios located in the Valparaiso Region of Chile. Situated along the coastline, the city of Reñaca is near the city of Viña del Mar. The two are connected by a long coastal road named Avenida Borgoño. Reñaca serves as a residential area predominantly catering to the upper-middle class, and provides a coastal lifestyle with access to amenities and recreational activities. Reñaca is at the northernmost extreme of the city of Viña del Mar and has been incorporated by it. The beach of Cochoa and the town of Concón is located to the north along the coast road. The lower part of the hill overlooking the beach is covered with residential buildings up the hillside. The town also extends eastward up the valley through which the Estero de Reñaca flows, where the majority of the year-round population lives.
We stopped at beach as part of the tour. It was empty when we went there, spotted sealions and pelicans
Beautiful beach, water is on the cold side. Few people, great place for long walks on the beach. Tall waves, not safe for small children.
The north sections of the beach is knowed as one of the best spots to surf near Santiago. Really fun, lots of barrels but really crowded

Fun place watch a show, eat some good local food, play some cards or slot machines and spend the weekend at the hotel. You can talk a nice walk on Avenida Peru and shop from the local artisans that are along the beachwalk.
It seems be good casino I went to play Texas Hold'em but unfortunateky there was no game at all Dealer told me that no cash game only tornement sometime Too Bad!!!!!!
Really cool casino, went here on Halloween with a buddy from the states. Awesome vibe and great music!
It’s good for food! I don’t know about the play. And they closed near to 3 am.
Super games and contests. Large space. Live music shows. Bufet near by
The Viña del Mar Casino offers a complete entertainment experience. It combines elegant gaming areas with a lively restaurant and nightclub, all within an environment defined by excellent service and genuine hospitality. Whether for an evening out or a special event, it’s one of the city’s most refined and enjoyable destinations.
Slots are stingy. Once u hit, get out. Service for "Bill Validator Tilt" took 25mins. And that's after asking Security to call somebody 🥱
I can say its good for food and sry

We went both on a Friday and then back on Saturday. Beautiful park. The canopies for the children. Beautiful walk around the lagoon and feeding the ducks and geese. On Saturday was a feria set up with various selections. Always an amazing place too visit.
What a nice garden! It is well on the way to recovery from the recent fire. Loved the trees and usual specimens. Lots of places to walk and find solitude on a weekday. While the zip line looked cool, we skipped it and went to see the lagoon instead. The price is fair at $3 per adult and $3 for the car. You can see the majority of the park is about 1-2 hours. It would be helpful to have more plants and trees labeled. :)
it’s pretty if you need to take pictures w a pretty backdrop they have a cafe
A very good place to visit with the family 👪 there are many activities you can do inside. Like Canopy, ride a bicycle, trekking among others, I love all the nature you can find and how can you disconnect yourself from the noise of the city and reconnect with nature
What a fantastic collection of Chilean native plants mixes with other outstanding specimens from around the globe!
A very interesting and scenic place to visit at excellent value. Highly recommended to any nature or plant enthusiasts. Entrance for only 2000 CLP The collection is wide and varied sprawling across what amounts to a very large park. I highly recommend the Valdivian Rainforest. There are informational panels available for each zone. The access within the site is by car, bike, foot. It is very impressive the amount of watering they have done to keep rainforest specimens growing in the desert. There is a small café at the back end by the lake. Recommended 2+ hours for a visit.
Quite a nice park to take a walk, have a picnic, & kick a football around. It's a good break from the hectic-ness of Valparaíso & Viña. It cost us 2,000 pesos each for adults to enter. There are a number of large, grassy fields. Because all the fields are broken up, they make the park feel much smaller than it really is. There are some cool sights, such as the lakes and the cactus garden. I recomm nd this park if you would like to have a nice, peaceful afternoon.
Really impressive.. the place is excellent to be with the family.. I recommend to take or rent a bicycle

(Translated by Google) Excellent hotel, very nice rooms and service in general, abundant and varied breakfast, I had dealings with the owners and they are excellent people, they took care of everything. Totally recommended! (Original) Excelente hotel, muy lindas habitaciones y atención en general, desayuno abundante y variado, tuve trato con los dueños y son excelentes personas se preocuparon todo. Totalmente recomendable!
(Translated by Google) It's a SCAM!! DO NOT reserve. Unfortunately I did not check the comments beforehand, since we had stayed at the hotel years ago and it was a good experience. However, this week when making the reservation they told us that the card was disabled and they asked you for a code to make the reservation through Google Play. Having this data, they cloned the card and made purchases in the fifth region. Furthermore, from what they point out, the hotel is no longer operating in this place. So don't book and report. (Original) Es una ESTAFA!! NO reserven. Lamentablemente no revisé los comentarios previamente, ya que años atrás nos habíamos quedado en el hotel y fue una buena experiencia. Sin embargo, esta semana al momento de hacer la reserva nos dijeron que la tarjeta estaba inhabilitada y te solicitan un código para hacer la reserva por google play. Teniendo estos datos, clonaron la tarjerta e hicieron compras en la quinta región. Además, por lo que señalan en este lugar no funciona ya el hotel. Así que no reserven y denuncien.
(Translated by Google) Hotel Quinta Vergara, terrible reservation service. I made a reservation on Saturday 02/10/2024 for 1 night's accommodation. They ask me for all my credit card information, since when booking online there is no debit payment option. They sent all the card details, via email they ask me to validate this, it is done and then they ask me to send them the 4-digit card code via email. What type of security does booking or paying without any authorized payment channel give you? And because I didn't send them the card code, they canceled my reservation. The most curious thing is that I had already made a reservation with my credit card on the same day 02/10/2024 about 2 hours before which they canceled due to not having rooms, but magically 45 minutes later I make another reservation now with my credit card husband and if there were rooms. Quite doubtful, since everyone knows that card codes are NOT sent via mail, for that there are authorized payment channels, which this hotel does not deliver. They don't answer phone numbers and the quickest way for them, because they were interested in the password, was to contact me via WhatsApp. (Original) Hotel Quinta Vergara, pésimo servicio de reserva. Hice una reserva el sábado 10/02/2024 por alojamiento de 1 noche, Me piden todos los datos de la tarjeta de crédito, ya que al reservar por internet no da la opción de pago con débito. Envió todos los datos de la tarjeta, vía mail me piden validar esta, se realiza y después me piden que les envíe vía correo la clave de 4 dígitos de la tarjeta. Que tipo de seguridad te da reservar o pagar sin canal de pago autorizado alguno? Y cómo no les envíe la clave de la tarjeta me anularon la reserva. Lo más curioso es que ya había echo una reserva con mi tarjeta de crédito el mismo día 10/02/2024 unas 2 horas antes la cual cancelaron por no contar con habitaciones, pero mágicamente 45 min después hago otra reserva ahora con la tarjeta de mi esposo y si habían habitaciones. Bastante dudoso, ya que todo el mundo sabe que NO se envían claves de tarjetas vía correo, para eso existen canales de pagos autorizados, el cual este hotel no los entrega. No contestan números de teléfono y la manera más rápida para ellos, porque les interesaba la clave, era contactarme vía whatsapp.
(Translated by Google) It is a scam, do not fall for it and those who fell report it to PDI. They use your data to make purchases in Viña del Mar. When I book, they tell you that your card is disabled and that they will make the reservation for you through Google Pay, that is, no security with your bank details. I made a reservation and they tried to use my card information in different businesses in Viña del Mar, which they could not do in large amounts since my bank did not allow them and they could only make two small transactions. WITHOUT SHAMES, SCAMMERS, LACRAS (Original) Es una estafa, no caigan y los que cayeron denuncien en PDI. Utilizan tus datos para hacer compras en Viña del Mar. Yo reserve, te dicen que tu tarjeta esta inabilitada y que te haran la reserva por google pay, es decir ninguna seguridad con tus datos bancarios. Yo hice reserva e intentaron ocupar mis datos de la tarjeta en distintos comercios de viña del mar, lo cual no pudieron en grandes montos ya que mi banco no los dejo y solo pudieron hacer dos transacciones pequeñas. SIN VERGUENZAS, ESTAFADORES, LACRAS
(Translated by Google) Gentlemen Tourist, since January 2023 it is a new Medical Center. With Resonance, Scanner and X-ray equipment, plus medical consultations. (Original) Señores Turista desde Enero del año 2023 es un nuevo Centro Médico. Con equipos de Resonancia, Scanner y Rayos X, más las consultas médicas.
(Translated by Google) Be careful with this hotel. They are scamming. I arrived at the place and it was a clinic. Today the 31st I am here in front of the hotel calling the police (Original) Tengan cuidado con este hotel. Estan estafando. Llegue al lugar y era una clinica. Hoy 31 estoy aqui frente el hotel llamando a carabineros
(Translated by Google) Highly recommended for its location, modern facilities, and attentive staff. Very clean, and I would definitely stay there again. (Original) Altamente recomendable por su ubicación, modernas instalaciones y atención del personal.Muy limpio y sin dudas volvería a alojarme allí.
(Translated by Google) An impressive building, with various shows, and a somewhat pricey entrance fee. We suggest wrapping up warm because it gets cold at night. (Original) Imponente construcción, diversos espectáculos, algo caro la entrada. Sugerencia abrigarse porque por la noche hace frío.
