Tour Highlights

At 9:30 am, our team will pick you up from your hotel in Concepción, starting the tour that highlights the main coastal attractions of the metropolitan area.

We will travel through Gran Concepción, features the historic Biobío River, marking a boundary between the Reino de España and Mapuche territories. Across the river lies San Pedro de la Paz, where a lagoon hosts a community of black-necked swans.

Our next stop is the Hualpén Peninsula, home to the Pedro del Río Zañartu Museum-Park, near the Biobío River's estuary. Here, we will explore exhibits and walk along trails that follow the Pacific Ocean through the Nature Sanctuary.

Next, we visit Talcahuano. A break at the Tumbes Peninsula Cove allows for an hour for lunch, with local restaurants offering views of Quiriquina Island and Concepción Bay.

After lunch, we will explore the Talcahuano naval base, visiting the historic Monitor Huáscar, a battleship significant to the Pacific War. After learning about its history, we will return to Concepción for a sunset over the Lenga wetland, concluding the day around 5:30 pm as we drop you back at your hotel.
