Near Hotel

With a location that places the best of Valdivia within walking distance, Hotel Diego De Almagro sits right on Costanera Avenue—the main promenade parallel to Calle-Calle River. This is where city life pulses most vibrantly; a picturesque walk way down beside lounging sea lions on the dock and tour boats. Valdivia Fluvial Market, another can’t-miss attraction just five to ten minutes away by foot! Seafood? Handicrafts? The dynamic vendor-to-customer (and sometimes seal) interaction?

Also within an easy ten-minute walk is the city's heart, the Plaza de la República (Plaza de Armas). A lovely square surrounded by historic buildings, cafes, and shops from which the main commercial streets can be easily explored. For something culinary, the famous street of craft breweries and restaurants such as the renowned Kunstmann on Isla Teja is just across the Pedro de Valdivia bridge. Also about a 15-20 minute walk.

For a dose of culture and history, it is a pleasant twenty-minute walk to the museum on Isla Teja housed in an old lovely home. Nearby also is the Botanical Garden of the Austral University of Chile, another quiet green escape. This is one hotel where you can park your car and know that almost everything important is accessible by walking, breathing fully the charming air of Valdivia.
