Embark on a journey to uncover the coastal landscapes of the Gran Concepción region, featuring the Biobío River mouth and a captivating sunset over the Lenga wetland.

Tour Highlights

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

As we travel through Gran Concepción, which includes the city and nearby towns, our route takes us across the Biobío River—a historical boundary between the Reino de España and the Mapuche territories. On the opposite bank is San Pedro de la Paz, where a lagoon hosts a community of black-necked swans.

Next, we will visit the Hualpén Peninsula, home to the Pedro del Río Zañartu Museum-Park, located near the Biobío River's estuary. We will explore the exhibits and walk along the park's trails that follow the Pacific Ocean through the Nature Sanctuary.

We will then visit the town of Talcahuano, with a lunch break at the Tumbes Peninsula Cove, where you have an hour to dine at local restaurants with views of Quiriquina Island and Concepción Bay.

After lunch, we will proceed to the Talcahuano naval base to explore the historic Monitor Huáscar, a battleship significant in the Pacific War. Following this, 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.
