Gearing up for the Silly Season

Christmas and New Year are almost here and we are gearing up for our busy seasons!


In Viña Del Mar and Valparaiso they has a huge fireworks display for New Years Eve along the coast that Chileans and Argentinians flock to come see. It´s always a good idea to book accomodation early if you want to catch it. The fireworks start very late at 12 midnight and then people go and party in Reñaca beach and nightspots.

The fireworks in Santiago city are not as popular as those on the coast but here is a link from Tripadvisor Forum so you can make up your own mind.

Hotspots for a good view, Valparaiso hills (Cerro Bellavista, Cerro Concepcion), Muelle Prat the port where boats come and go.

Welcome to our Blog!

We have finally got around to putting up a blog! Thanks for visiting us!

We have our bed n breakfast just up and running a few months ago now.

My sister Adda and her husband discovered this house while on a back street stroll, fell in love with it´s cosyness and decided to buy it. Since then, about 5 or 6 people have offered to buy it from us even while it was still under renovation! It means we were onto a good thing!

It´s a family business that has a bed and breakfast in Santiago called Casa Newen. This blog is a way of letting people know about Viña Del Mar which is a charming beach resort town and the goings on here from a local point of view.


We look forward to posting about insider tips on where to go, what to avoid, restaurants, events, festivals, and what to see and what´s on this lovely coastal town.
