Vina del Mar did have the California look of a wealthy beach city, with a few exceptions - very few people actually on the beach or in the water and no surfers or cyclists. After stepping in the water I know why so few swimmers. The ocean there is cooled by currents from the Antarctic and the water was in the high 40s, low 50s. Even though this is Chile , a large number of people come from Argentina - a 6 hour drive compared to a 12 hour drive to an Argentinian beach.The tour group had time for a lunch and walk on the beach before heading off to the poor side of town - Valparaiso
