Concon: Vina del Mar - Vina del Mar Airport 2
The landscape around Concón is a dry, low-lying coastal plain of scrub and rolling ground, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Inland from the Pacific coast, the Torquemada area contains Aeródromo Viña del Mar, an airfield associated with the wider Viña del Mar–Valparaíso urban area. Its runway and open margins contrast with the denser coastal development for which Concón is known. The Aconcagua River reaches the Pacific at Concón, creating an estuary near the town. Fishing and seafood cooking remain central to local identity, while beaches and dunes place Concón within one of central Chile’s notable seaside areas. This open hinterland shows that Concón extends well beyond its waterfront.

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.

Among the countries of South America, Chile stands out for its exceptional north-to-south extent between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. The Atacama Desert in the north is one of the driest places on Earth, while the south reaches into Patagonia, where Torres del Paine National Park is known for its jagged granite peaks, glaciers and lakes. Chile also includes Rapa Nui, the Pacific island famed for its monumental moai statues.
