Reloj de Flores, also known as the Flower Clock, is one of the best-known landmarks in Viña del Mar, on the coast of Chile's Valparaíso Region. It sits on Avenida Marina, so it is easy to reach if you are already exploring the seafront.
As its name suggests, the clock is a floral arrangement that also tells the time. Its colourful planting changes with the seasons, so the display you see on one visit may look quite different from the next. It is a simple, pleasant stop, and a useful reference point when you are getting your bearings in the city.
What a visit offers
- A quick, scenic stop on Avenida Marina, close to the sea
- A seasonal flower display that gives a new look at different times of year
- An easy photograph for anyone interested in the city's emblems
Around the clock
Because the clock stands on the coastal avenue, it works well as part of a relaxed walk along the waterfront. Viña del Mar is a seaside city, and the promenade gives you a sense of its character beyond this one monument. Visitors who want to plan ahead can call the contact number listed for the site, +56 32 218 5000, to check details before they go.
