These small beach communities are roughly 190 to 220 kilometers north of Santiago and 280 to 250 kms south of La Serena. They are inexpensive alternatives to the much more developed and pricey resorts in the Vi a to Zapallar area. All three towns are situated directly on a beautiful beach on a cove.
Small restaurants line each wharf area and offer reasonably priced fantastically fresh seafood.
Los Vilos and Pichidangue are possibilities for surfing enthusiasts, the latter being a popular summer destination for catching some waves. As with most areas in this part of the country, the waves are inconsistant. Even still, all three towns offer numerous beaches within walking distance as well as deserted coves a few kilometers outside for those with transport.
