Dunas de Concón, Natural Reserve in Concón, Chile.

The sand dunes extend across 30 hectares of protected coastline, rising over 30 meters above sea level along the Pacific Ocean margin.

The dune formation process began 25 million years ago through wind modeling, with sand supplied by the coastal streams of Viña del Mar and Reñaca.

The Chilean Ministry of Education designated Dunas de Concón as a Nature Sanctuary in 1993, leading to increased conservation efforts by local communities.

Visitors can access the dunes through trails from adjacent streets, with nearby shopping centers offering convenient parking spaces for exploration.

The site contains two distinct dune fields: Pleistocene dunes stabilized by vegetation and Holocene dunes facing the ocean directly.
