1 Flower Clock in Viña del Mar, Chile

A few miles north of Valparaíso is the resort town of Viña del Mar. The name means “Vineyard by the Sea” but its nickname is The Garden City. This Flower Clock has been a landmark since it was designed by Oscar Martinez Amaro in 1962. The nine foot hands of Reloj de Flores are driven by a Swiss mechanism. If you want to see hundreds of species of flowers and trees, then stroll through the botanical gardens called Jardín Botánico Nacional. Since Viña was founded in 1874 by José Francisco Vergara Echevers, it has grown into Chile’s fourth largest city with over 300,000 residents called Viñamarinos.
