Article History

Viña del Mar, city and Pacific Ocean resort, central Chile. It is located just northeast of Valparaíso.

A large municipal gaming casino, beaches, and a pleasant summer climate attract substantial numbers of domestic and foreign vacationers. Hotels, exclusive clubs, a racecourse, public gardens and plazas, museums, and theatres are added attractions. Army and navy garrisons, petroleum depots, and processing and fabricating industries (including foods, textiles, and paints) add to the city’s economic base.

The Cerro Castillo, summer palace of Chilean presidents, was erected on a coastal bluff. The city is linked by bus and rail with Santiago, the national capital, about 75 miles (120 km) southeast. In the mid-20th century Viña del Mar grew rapidly as a residential suburb of Valparaíso. Pop. (2002) 286,931; (2017) 334,248.
