Paddling near Viña del Mar, Valparaíso

Viña del Mar sits on the Pacific coast of the Valparaíso Region, where the sheltered Bahía de Valparaíso is the main draw for recreational paddlers. Sea kayaking across the bay is the marquee activity, with views of Valparaíso's port and hillside cityscape. SUP rentals and instruction are available at Muelle Barón in Valparaíso, and the Río Maipo draws whitewater kayakers and rafters inland from the coast.
