Jocycln sent me some pictures she took in Viña del Mar of some of its popular destinations.

The Cerro Castillo is a hill located on the south side of the mouth of the Marga Marga river in Viña del Mar in Chile. It gets its name from colonial times, where it was built as a fortress because of its strategic location.
