The Top 10 Things To See And Do In Concepcin Chile

Don’t believe for a second, that once you have passed the capital of Santiago, and the unofficial midway point of Chile, that you have left all cities and civilization behind and are traipsing into the lone wilderness. The next main city you will encounter south of Santiago, happens to be the second biggest in the country and is worth a visit on your way south. And no matter how much you loved the capital, Concepción will have you forgetting all about Santiago.

1. Concepción Zoo

Zoo

Great fun for the family, or even if you are traveling alone, you can take your own little safari expedition on the South American continent. Make the short trek outside of town via bus or car, into the country and see giraffes, tigers, monkeys, zebras and more animals you certainly did not expect to see during your travels through Chile.

2. Parque & Museum Pedro del Río Zañartu

Museum

Only those who really want to visit this museum will make it here, as it is not exactly what you would call centrally located, but that is exactly why it is so appealing. The museum, which is attributed to the life of Pedro del Río Zañartu, a famous world traveler and explorer, is located atop a bluff overlooking the beautiful rocky, rugged coast and beaches below.
