Sea Kayaking the  Valparaiso Bay 

 Valparaiso Bay
 

Description

Requirements

Travel in a sea kayak from Viña del Mar to Valparaiso with the impressive view of the coastline, together with an illustrative walking tour through Valparaiso. We will travel through beautiful beaches, the wharfs, the famous dam,  and a space protected from the northern storms which is the location where warships would anchor. These wharfs are considered a great accomplishment in the port engineering industry due to a depth of more than 100 meters. In the bay we can watch ships spinning, while tied down only by an anchor as they turn with the change in direction of the wind.  

 While on our journey we will be able to make out the monumental construction of the Federico Santa Maria University which dates back to 1930, the San Francisco Church at the foot of  Baron Hill, a tall tower with a clock considered a National Monument which serves as a point for orientation  and still today you can see the ships tied up at the port.  This is where the name Pancho (short for Francisco) has come from; the name given to Valparaiso by the sailors in honor of the tower which orients them. 

We invite you to accompany us on this trip, allowing you to visit the picturesque Valparaiso Bay in a unique way.
