The next stop will be Viña del mar, known as the “Garden City”, where a stops will be made at the famous flower clock, the Wulff Castle and the Árabe sculpture. Before heading to Reñaca and its beautiful beaches, there will be a stop at the Fock Museum, to see an original Moai from the Easter Island.
