Located about 90 minutes west of Santiago, Tunquen is a part of coastal Chile which still maintains its original natural features and has managed to conserve and protect some unique habitats including extensive wetlands which provide shelter and sanctuary to many endemic plant and animal species. There is a beautiful undeveloped beach to explore, a couple of restaurants serving fresh local sea food and some unique accommodation options. Tunquen is ideally placed for some interesting day trips and you may even get lucky and spot some Chilean celebrities, many of whom have holiday homes in the area.
