Tourist Attractions & Monuments Chile

The most accessible beach if you spend a day in the city. Chileans generally find that large contiguous buildings are very nice, we let you judge their appreciation.

The natural site of this small bay is beautiful. However, the beach is now in the hands of a concession (paid access by car, counting $ 2,500 per vehicle, health and paying showers, but we can take water from the rocks). Please note: once a paradise of a few connoisseurs, there is now crowd in January and February and some long weekends. The rest of the time, come on weekdays and you will be quiet! Probably the nicest beach in the Valpo region.

A 3,1 km trail leads to Cerro Bandera (610 m altitude, 3 or 4 round trip). He leaves the statue of the Virgin Mary, 2 km south-east of the city. Beautiful panoramas on the tops, the canal and the bled.

On the beach La Puntilla takes place every year in the Relámpago Nacional e Internacional de Surf. There are many (Chile and foreigners), the town is packed and the atmosphere heated.

This site is the old site of the port and village of Quellón. The coast, bordered by fine sandy beaches, is perfectly suited to the practice of sport fishing. We guess the islands Laitec and Coldita.

Here we will see vestiges of rock paintings, allegedly made by nomadic hunters Tehuelche over 10,000 years ago. On the east side of the hill, it is a natural cave about 60 m high. She served as occasional dwelling but also as an observation point for native tehuelche hunters. The top of the hill, 120 m above the valley level, offers a beautiful view. It even sees the delta of the Jeinemini River (natural border with Argentina) flowing into the lake.

This palace was built in 1906 by the architect Alfredo Azancot on the order of a wealthy Spanish banker, also leading the Chilean company of tobacco, Fernando Rioja. It is a palace built on stone; Its walls are built in oak wood and reinforced by Adobe, with a decoration of stuc and cement. This remains a French inspiration, with its semi-circular loggia and its two arms. The palace houses the Museum of the Environment and also hosts theater or lyrical performances.

This former railway station, all wood, with its beautiful corridors and wharves and an vegetation that seems to fight with the rails, is maintained by the old workers'building. Declared National Monument in 1981. The whole thing deserves a visit.
