The morning light hits the low cliff at Chome and the shore answers with a briny breath — gulls cut the air and the sea dares the walker closer. This three-to-four-hour coastal circuit around Hualpén’s western edge moves from the rusted ruins of old whaling works to the intimate inlet of Perone and finishes on the strip of sand at Ramuntcho Beach, where surf and shore swap stories.

The morning light hits the low cliff at Chome and the shore answers with a briny breath — gulls cut the air and the sea dares the walker closer. This three-to-four-hour coastal circuit around Hualpén’s western edge moves from the rusted ruins of old whaling works to the intimate inlet of Perone and finishes on the strip of sand at Ramuntcho Beach, where surf and shore swap stories.
Geologically the Hualpén peninsula is an exposed shelf of the Chilean Coastal Range, sculpted by tectonic uplift and wave action into small coves backed by rocky headlands and sandy bays. Culturally, Chome carries the memory of shore-based whaling that continued here until 1981; fishing remains a living tradition at Perone, where small restaurants serve catch brought in that morning.
Expect short, fairly easy walks on uneven coastal paths and brief stops at viewpoints, a former industrial ruin, and a quiet beach. The itinerary balances interpretive stops with time to photograph, snack, or scan offshore for seabirds and the occasional dolphin.
Practical guidance: bring closed-toe shoes with grip for rocky approaches, a windproof layer, and 1–2 liters of water. Midday sun is strong in summer; schedule tours earlier or later to avoid peak heat. Mobile tickets and a guide are included; the tour suits those with moderate fitness but is not recommended for people with serious back, heart, or pregnancy-related restrictions.
Leave no trace on fragile shorelines and support local fishers by buying a snack or coffee at the small cove stands — it helps keep these coastal communities and their stories alive.

Chome was the site of shore-based whaling operations until 1981; remnants of processing facilities remain visible and tell the coastline’s industrial story.
This coastline is sensitive to trampling and marine pollution; stay on paths, pack out waste and support local vendors to help sustain the community.
