Pichilemu, Beach resort city in central Chile
Pichilemu is a coastal city in central Chile with extensive dark sand beaches and rocky cliffs where waves can reach 9 meters high. The shoreline mixes flat sandy stretches with jagged rock formations that extend along the Pacific.
The area was first inhabited by the Promaucae people before being assigned to Juan Gómez de Almagro by Pedro de Valdivia in 1541. It became an independent municipality in 1891.
The Agustín Ross Cultural Centre occupies a former casino building and displays regional crafts and local exhibitions that reflect the community's traditions. You can see how local artisans continue these practices today through the items on display.
You can reach the city by bus from Santiago in about three hours, with regular departures throughout the day. Plan to visit during daylight hours to best explore the beaches and harbor areas.
Punta de Lobos has been designated a World Surf Reserve and provides consistent left-breaking waves year-round. The beach regularly hosts international surfing competitions and draws riders from around the globe.
