Best Tours and Activities in Coquimbo | Top Things to Do

Located on Chile's northern coast, this vibrant port city perfectly blends urban buzz with natural beauty. Surrounded by pristine beaches and dramatic hills, it's an ideal spot for those seeking culture, relaxation, and spectacular ocean views.

A Glimpse into the Past

Originally a small fishing village, Coquimbo rose to prominence in the 19th century with the mining boom. Its port quickly became a key gateway for silver exports, which brought waves of immigrants and diverse influences. Today, you can stroll through historic quarters and spot traces of those early pioneers everywhere.

Best Time to Go

Mild weather dominates throughout the year. Summer (December to March) is perfect if you love warm days on the beach, while the shoulder seasons offer fewer crowds and great conditions for sightseeing. The annual La Pampilla Festival in September is a lively highlight you won't want to miss!

What are the must-see attractions?

Top highlights include the iconic Cross of the Third Millennium, the colorful English Quarter, and Playa La Herradura. Don't miss the bustling fish market or a boat trip in the bay for incredible sea views and the chance to spot sea lions.
