Chile has a geography that is identified at international level. Chile is a long and narrow country, where you will be able to find a great variety of weathers, from the warm North, with its Atacama Desert, recognized as the driest desert in the world, then the central area, with more temperate weather and a great influence of the Pacific Ocean, the Lakes Area in the South zone, and until the iced Chilean Antarctica.
From the V Region: Valparaiso and Viña del Mar, and until the VII Region in Curicó and Talca, the area is called the Central Zone. This zone has fertile Valleys, recently known by different wine Routes, created to show the wine Chilean production.
Perhaps what more calls the attention of this zone is the type of weather that you are going to find. Although Chile is a narrow country, it is true that you will find temperate weather in the coast and lower temperatures toward the interior of the country. The first main cities that we can discover in this zone are Valparaiso and Viña del Mar. These two sister cities, are located to less than 124,27 miles of the Capital of Chile, Santiago. Valparaiso is the main port of Chile and was declared Patrimony of the Humanity some years ago. Like all port, it is a vigorous and crowded city with many hills which are inhabited by colorful houses.
To know Valparaiso is all an adventure, since its narrow passages make it chaotic, but beautiful simultaneously. In the plane of the city, there are some options of lodging. Nevertheless it is definitively in hills where it can find several lodgings, with small hotels boutiques with excellent services and views to the port which make sigh to anyone. The options are not varied in terms service, but always it is a good idea to check the location of the hotel in advance. There are also a big amount of hostels with basic services.
Very opposed, Viña del Mar is well-known like the Garden City of Chile and the main beach of the country. With hotels of excellent category of up to 5 stars luxury, located in the coastal road of the city and a great variety of restaurants, Viña del Mar is transformed into an excellent opportunity to delight with the beauty of the Pacific Ocean, to enjoy the beauty and the relaxing of the sea, staying in Hotels which services does not have comparison at national level. Unlike Valparaiso, Viña del Mar is an ordered, clean and fresh city from where you will be able to visit different towns located in the Central Coast in just short time, as well as mixing rest, service and quality.
From Santiago, to the South, the weather and the landscapes are getting colder and temperate. The type of accommodations are very varied, from colonial hotels located strategically in the zone of the wine Routes, specially in the Colchagua Valley, to hotels boutique located in the same Vineyards. A special mention has these hotels that are small, but with services of first level. In cities like Curicó, Rancagua, Talca, etc., there are also category hotel with a good level of the service.
If you are looking for the better "huasa" (country) zone of Chile, we recommend you to stay in some of these small hotels that not always are located near to the highway, but even so, it will give you the option of meeting the Chilean roots in cultural and historical level.
