Algarrobo

Algarrobo extends along the central Chilean coast, featuring multiple beaches and residential areas that accommodate permanent residents and seasonal visitors throughout the year.

The transformation of Algarrobo from a small fishing settlement into a prominent coastal destination occurred during the mid-twentieth century with significant infrastructure development.

The maritime influence shapes local traditions, with fishermen maintaining their practices while providing fresh seafood to numerous restaurants that line the shoreline.

Regular bus services connect Algarrobo to Santiago and Valparaiso, while the town offers varied accommodations from beachfront resorts to family-operated guesthouses.

San Alfonso del Mar resort contains a 1-kilometer swimming pool filled with filtered seawater, making it the longest outdoor pool in the world.
