From Viña del Mar to Concon

The drive from Viña to Concon is about 15 minutes.
Concon is a cool little town with a marina, surf schools, good sea food and grocery stores. If you can't find it here Viña is super close and they have it all. It's also close to really good schools and they are more use to foreigners. As I write this I'm in San Fernando were I feel we stand out like Shaq would at a midget convention (not that there's anything wrong with that)

The 3 photos below are from the drive.






































Rolling into northern Concon. It's pretty much country roads north of this point until Maitencillo.

We also checked out the local boys school that's inland Concon.




















It's somewhere in this neighborhood that's right on the edge of a forest.














































This inland neighborhood is way expensive even by US standars. I'm finding out that the cost of nearly everything is comprable to UT, but on the beach.
I really liked Concon despite the dogs.... they're everywhere.
Next post will be Maitencillo. I was blown away by the place. I didn't want to leave.

  1. Awesome pics! But if you expect me to come visit, you need to take a few of the local ladies :)
