Parque Quinta Vergara



This is the Quinta Vergara park in Viña del Mar.  It's a beautiful place to walk around.  Inside of the park there is an amphitheater which was built for the first international song festival held in Viña (top left picture).  Inside of the park you will also find the Palace Vergara (middle picture).  This is where Jose Francisco Vergara, the founder of Viña del Mar, lived with his family until 1941 when it was turned into a museum of fine art.  We did not go inside because it's closed this winter for restoration, but there were a ton of statues around the house which were pretty awesome (bottomt picture).
