Casa de Pedro del Río Zañartu

The mansion features traditional Chilean colonial architecture with square design, central courtyard, and large windows overlooking the Biobío River and ocean.

Built in 1870 as a family residence, the property was donated to the Province of Concepción in 1918 by Pedro del Río Zañartu before his death.

The museum houses 6,000 artifacts from Africa, America, Asia, and Europe, including a collection of musical instruments and photographs from Chilean artist Violeta Parra.

Located 12 kilometers from central Concepción, visitors can access the museum via Avenida Costera, following the industrial sector toward Ramuntcho Beach.

The mansion contains items collected during Pedro del Río's global travels, including an authentic Egyptian mummy among its extensive international collection.
