Access to Peru Avenue is completely free for all visitors, as it is an emblematic public thoroughfare of the city. You can enjoy the views of the Pacific Ocean and the pedestrian promenade at no cost, ideal to complement with one of our experiences at IAudioguia.

A leisurely walk along the avenue usually takes between 30 and 45 minutes at a relaxed pace. However, we recommend setting aside at least an hour if you plan to sit on the benches to admire the sea, take photographs, or enjoy an ice cream in the area.

Built in the 1930s, this avenue transformed the coastline into the most important social promenade of the 'Garden City.' It is famous for its breakwater engineering that protects the city and for witnessing the iconic heavy swells that define the coastal identity of the region.

The best time of day is undoubtedly sunset, when you can see spectacular sunsets over the ocean. As for the season, summer (December to March) offers pleasant weather, while winter brings the natural spectacle of waves crashing powerfully against the rocks.

Yes, Peru Avenue has wide, paved, and mostly flat sidewalks, making it easy for wheelchairs and strollers to get around. It is one of the most accessible promenades in the city in terms of physical accessibility.

You are in a privileged location; just a few steps away you will find the famous Viña del Mar Municipal Casino and Colombia Square. To the south, you can walk toward the emblematic Wulff Castle, and to the north you connect with Vergara Pier and Acapulco Beach.

Always bring a windbreaker or a light jacket, as the sea breeze can be cool even in summer. Also, be cautious if there is a heavy swell warning; although it is a beautiful spectacle, the waves can splash over the wall and soak unsuspecting passersby.
