Zapallar, Coastal resort town in Petorca Province, Chile
The coastal town features Italian-style houses with landscaped gardens, positioned between evergreen forests and the Pacific Ocean waters at 50 meters elevation.
Established in 1889, Zapallar developed from an untouched coastal area into a residential district that attracted Chilean upper-class families seeking seaside properties.
The stone church stands as a central gathering point where residents participate in religious ceremonies and community events throughout the year.
Visitors can access three main beaches - El Abanico, Aguas Blancas, and Playa Grande - each offering different water activities and coastal experiences.
The town benefits from a protective microclimate that blocks strong coastal winds, creating favorable conditions for outdoor activities and garden cultivation.
