More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A wind-scoured ridge of golden sand greets you as the van drops you at the edge of Concón. The Pacific pushes itself forward in steady sets; the dunes rise behind, warm and mobile, daring you to run them. You start on horseback — gentle, sure-footed Criollo crosses — cantering along coastal scrub and a narrow beach track where brine and hoofprints compete for space.

Concón’s coast sits on uplifted Tertiary sediments shaped by seismic activity and longshore drift; the area evolved from small fishing hamlets into the Valparaíso region’s surf and leisure corridor.
Conservation
Dune vegetation is fragile—stay on designated paths and use local operators who follow erosion-prevention practices to minimize impact.

Sun and wind protection
Bring SPF 50 sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and windproof layers; the sun reflects off sand and water and wind can be strong on the exposed dunes.
Hydrate for a long day
Carry a 1–2 L reusable water bottle—you’ll be active for 7–8 hours with limited shade during dune and beach segments.
Footwear for mixed terrain
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes for horse handling and a pair of sandals or water shoes for surf transitions; sand quickly ruins street shoes.
Listen to guides for safety
Follow instructors’ briefings for the horses, surf conditions, and sandboarding to avoid injury and protect fragile dune vegetation.
Sunscreen & sun hat
High-SPF sunscreen and a hat protect from strong coastal sun and reflected glare from sand and water.
