Playa Reñaca
Since the mid-60s, this popular coastal resort has been one of the most important tourist attractions in the region. A sidewalk scene offers a wide selection of craft stalls, restaurants, ice-cream parlours, discotheques, cafes and shops. A small shopping mall and several hotels add to the appeal, drawing thousands of tourists each summer. The local population has divided the beach area into numerous sectors, starting with "El Familiar", a family zone, and ending in "El Cementerio", the zone where everyone goes to see and be seen.
A peninsula gaves protection to this small beach from the coastal winds, making the waters stay quiet and safe for swimming. It used to be very popular before the ignaguration of the Reñaca resort, and it still receives a lot of visitors during summer time. It is a favorite of families with small kids. There are parking facilities nearby, and on the other side of the road is a fairly good selection of restaurants and shellfish bars, in case you're feeling peckish.
There are two main sections to visit at this museum, a natural history department dedicated to Chile's native fauna and flora; and an archaeological department offering a permanent display related to the indigenous peoples of Northern Chile, the Aconcagua region and the Mapuche in the south of the country. There is also one of the most important collections in the world related to Easter Island, including the only genuine Moai statue in the whole of continental Chile, outside in the museum garden. Guided tours are available in both Spanish and English so you can understand what you are seeing. 
This amazing house was the residence of Pablo Neruda, the acclaimed Chilean poet who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. The home has its own style, in great part designed by the poet himself, and can be found at the bottom of San Cristóbal Hill. Builted in 1955 by the writer and his wife. There is a great library filled with a wide collection of books, paintings and other objects belonging to Neruda himself. It is also the headquarters of the Pablo Neruda Foundation. Paid entry. Call ahead to set up a guided tour.
The dark-coloured sands, fine in texture and rich in volcanic minerals, gave the area its name (the black beach). Although this beach doesn't have the attractions of others, it is still a good place to spend you family vacation without preocupations. Despite its distance from the centre of Viña del Mar, the good public transport connections make it easily accessible for your convenience. 
Bullfights have continued in Bogota since Colombia gained independence from Spain in 1819. It is one of few Latin American countries where the original (most brutal) form of the sport is still practiced. But not without controversy. Animal rights activists decry the sport's cruelty and call for its cessation. The fervent fan base fills the Plaza Santamaria, especially on Sundays during the January-February peak of the bullfight season when the best toreros fight the biggest bulls.
If you don't have the time or simply the desire to travel all over Colombia to see the best of local craft and cultural artifacts, this artisans fair held annually in mid-December is well worth a visit. The exhibits fill four buildings at Corferias, Bogota's big exhibition center. See and purchase baskets, blankets, lamps, furniture and other fine works in metal, glass, ceramics, wood and textiles. On the premises during the fair, you will also find national and international communication facilities, banking services, medical services and travel agents.
Situated in one of the bays in the Caribbean Sea, Cartagena has the most extensive fortifications in South America. A system of zones divides the city into three neighbourhoods: San Pedro, with the cathedral and many Andalusian-style palaces; San Diego, where merchants and the middle class lived; and Gethsemani, the 'popular quarter'.
