Concon

Built around the Aconcagua River’s Pacific mouth, Concón grew into a coastal city on Chile’s central shore, immediately north of Viña del Mar. Long beaches meet the Campo Dunar de la Punta de Concón, a protected dune field whose sands rise above the oceanfront and set this stretch apart from the denser resort districts nearby. The river estuary is an important habitat for waterbirds, while Caleta Higuerillas connects the city with fishing and seafood cooking. Concón also lends its name to the Battle of Concón, fought here in 1891 during Chile’s Civil War.
