Los Molles, Coastal settlement in Valparaíso Region, Chile.
Los Molles is a coastal settlement along the Pacific Ocean in the Valparaíso Region. The town has beaches, residential neighborhoods, a small fishing port, and local shops and eateries scattered throughout.
The settlement originated in the 1960s when fishing families from northern Chile established homes in the area. Over time it grew from a small fishing cove into a destination people visit during warmer months.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices, contributing to the settlement's reputation for excellent seafood restaurants and maritime activities.
The settlement attracts many more people during summer months, making it quite busy during that season. Visiting outside these warm months offers a quieter experience with easier access to beaches and local spots.
The coastal strip between this settlement and nearby Pichidangui is home to rare plants such as the Chilean lucumo tree. These native species are important for the region's natural diversity.
