Chepe Hill, Summit in Concepción, Chile.

Chepe Hill is an 84-metre hill in Concepción, above the Biobío river and the Biobío railway bridge, facing San Pedro de la Paz. The General Cemetery of Concepción lies at its foot, and Avenida 21 de Mayo runs along one side by the Lorenzo Arenas neighbourhood. On the summit stand a 20-metre concrete cross and a 4-metre concrete viewpoint, both built by cemetery administrator Guillermo Otto.

In 1603 governor Alonso de Ribera built a fort on the hill to guard the approach from the Biobío river; the Mapuches destroyed it in 1655, and a second fort, raised by governor Porter y Casanate in 1656, fell to the mestizo Alejo in 1660. On 5 May 1817 the Battle of Chepe was fought here, when patriot forces under General Las Heras defeated the royalists and pushed them back toward Talcahuano.

The hill's name comes from the Mapuche chief Chepe, who owned these lands before they became national territory. A historic Mapuche ceremonial site stands on the hill; in April 2024 unknown persons removed a rewe installed there. When someone died, locals once said "se fue pa' Chepe" (he went to Chepe), because the General Cemetery lies at the foot of the hill.

The hill rises 84 metres, 62 metres above the surrounding land, about 1.9 km west of Concepción's centre. The Cementerio General de Concepción occupies its lower slopes, and Avenida 21 de Mayo runs along one side by the Lorenzo Arenas neighbourhood. The Biobío River and the Biobío railway bridge lie on the opposite side, facing San Pedro de la Paz.

The cross and the abandoned viewpoint on the hill were built by Guillermo Otto, administrator of the General Cemetery of Concepción, as part of a landscaped promenade. The concrete cross stands 20 metres tall on a 2-square-metre base and bears the inscription "In Memoriam XIX Centenar Redemptionis XXXIX MCMXXXIII"; the viewpoint is 4 metres high on a 7-square-metre base. Both are listed as Heritage of Concepción.
