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, starting the tour that highlights the main coastal attractions of the metropolitan area.

Our route leads us across the Biobío River, historically marking the boundary between the Reino de España and the Mapuche territories. On the opposite bank lies San Pedro de la Paz, home to a lagoon with 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'll explore exhibits regarding this environment and walk along the park's trails, following the Pacific Ocean through the Nature Sanctuary.

Continuing our exploration, we will visit Talcahuano. A break at the Tumbes Peninsula Cove will provide you with an hour for lunch, with local restaurants offering views of Quiriquina Island and Concepción Bay.

After lunch, we'll head to the Talcahuano naval base to explore the historic Monitor Huáscar, a battleship from the Pacific War. Following this, we'll return to Concepción for a sunset over the Lenga wetland. The day concludes around 5:30 pm as we drop you back off at your hotel.
