Top Concepcion Day Trips

Step off the typical tourist trail and into the industrial and cultural history of Lota on a small-group tour to one of Chile’s most important mining communities. Visit the exact center of Chile, descend into a historic coal mine, and visit landmarks including the Lota Museum, Parque Isidora Cousiño, Pavilion 83, and the city’s historic square.

In this tour, we will do an extensive tour around the cities of Coronel and Lota. First, we will visit Maule Beach, Schwager Puchoco Museum, Communitarios Ovens and Coronel Square. After all that, we will continue our trip visiting Playa Blanca, where we will visit the exact point where the half of the Chilean continental territory is located. We will continue our trip visiting the Mining Town, the place where the film "Subterra" was filmed; there, we will be able to know how miners lived during the second half of 19th century and the begining of 20th century while working in the coal mines. After that, we will have lunch, and then will visit Lota Museum and Isidora Cousiño Park. Finally, we will visit Pavillion Nº 83, nowadays used as a Comunity Cultural Centre for the City of Lota, and then, Lota Main Square, before we go back to Concepción.
