Local history and culture Chile

This cave, famous in the region, is 20 m in diameter for 50 m deep and hosts the International Film Festival every year in February. The cave is named after the Chilean soldier Vicente Benavides who would have hidden a colossal war loot here in 1830. Legend assumes a treasure is still hidden here… If the heart tells you, you can pin the smallest corners of the cave in search of the famous magot, otherwise continue your path to the Playa Millaneco and its white sand bench.

Don't miss this new museum created in memory of mining activity. After closing the main deposits in the region, a group of former miners wanted to save coal activity in a cultural heritage. Thus was born this project an interactive museum, very informative, where the mining reoriented as guides. The circuit, which includes an underground gallery, replicates the real-scale experience of the working environment of minors.
