although everyone is initially coming to santiago, Valparaiso and Vina del Mar are doing all they can to grab a piece of the action (including offering free office space for SUP alumni) :)

I've never heard of Vina del Mar, but based on the name it sounds like exactly where I'd wanna go.

I agree, it sounds like they have vineyards that overlook the southern pacific ocean.

Now if that was in the US, something called "Vina del Mar" would be McMansion tract housing built on salt flats in Nevada next to a nuclear waste disposal site.
