Paddling near Los Vilos, Coquimbo


Los Vilos sits on the Pacific coast of Chile's Coquimbo Region, where a rugged shoreline, sheltered bays, and small caletas define the on-water character. The area is best known for calm coastal paddling, with Caleta San Pedro and the bay at Pichidangui — roughly 30 km south — standing out as the marquee spots for kayaking and SUP. Muelle Los Vilos, on Quebrada Matagorda, serves as a practical access point for paddlers exploring the local coast.
