San Antonio is your gateway to Valparaiso, just 30 miles up the coast. There, enjoy the charm and color of the hillside old quarter, or visit lovely nearby Viña del Mar and its famed floral clock. Head inland to Chile’s scenic Central Valley, the country’s breadbasket, and on to the Andes with their world-class vineyards and ski resorts. Or spend the day in metropolitan Santiago, considered the safest city in Latin America.
