Viña del Mar is home to the most important music festival in Latin America. Along with Valparaíso, forms the second largest urban region in Chile. With a wide coastline, Viña has the best of both worlds: the relaxation of the beach and the activities offered by the city. On most streets the sidewalks will have curb cuts for wheelchair users, but public transportation is not yet adapted for people with disabilities. Visitors can enjoy the National Botanical Garden, Reñaca beach, the Rioja Palace and a paved pedestrian path that borders a large part of the coastal area of the region, so you can stroll around enjoying the scenery.
