Paddling near Talcahuano, Biobío

Talcahuano sits on a peninsula in the Biobío Region, flanked by the Bahía de Concepción and the open Pacific coast. The area draws paddlers to coastal routes like El Morro, a headland circuit, and to the wetland paddling at Laguna Recamo y Redacamo within the city itself. The Río Biobío, one of Chile's major rivers, runs close by, and the broader region is known across South America for its range of paddling from calm bays to serious whitewater.
