Sea Kayaking Viña del Mar and Valparaiso
Bay
|
|
| |
|
Navigate in a sea kayak from Viña del Mar to Valparaiso will allow
you to understand why this particular city was declared recently
by Unesco WORLD HERITAGE.
A visit to Valparaiso is a sheer surprise: its typical
architecture, its winding narrow streets and the ranges of houses
clinging on the surrounding hills in an urban landscape intermingled
with all kind of vessels in the ever present bay.
Itinerary
We meet in Santiago at 9AM and after crossing the coastal range
by way of tunnels and passing through the unique Curacaví
farming valley and we start feeling the cool breeze of the Pacific
Oceans, we take the road to Valparaíso overlooking the blue
bay (weather permitting).
Before paddling we will have a safety talk and also a general seakayak
practice about strokes and rescue procedures...and then start our
navigation. We expect to return to Santiago aprox 8 PM.
