Situated just 90 minutes from Santiago and 80km north of Valparaíso, Zapallar, meaning ‘place of pumpkins’ in Mapudungun, is sure to enthrall you with its stunning scenery. It’s easy to see why this locale ensnared a multitude of European architects in the 1960s, leaving their mark in the form of the houses that now populate the area.
Journeying through the local natural forests on unpaved roads, we’ll follow a picturesque route that hugs the rugged coastal line of this resort.
Upon reaching the cove – our departure point for the boat trip – a local fisherman with over a decade’s experience will guide us to the Isla Cachagua Natural Monument. This sanctuary is dedicated to the protection of the iconic Humboldt penguin and boasts a diverse collection of flora and fauna (heron cuca, swan, duck yeco, garuma, pitotoy, etc). After this adventure, we welcome you to sample the local marine cuisine at the Chiringuito, featuring freshly caught seafood directly from the Pacific Ocean.
