Biobío is consolidating itself as one of the most complete destinations in southern Chile
Its main strength lies in the combination: well-connected cities, accessible nature, and experiences that cater to both regional and international travelers
Concepción serves as a strategic hub. Its airport, hotel infrastructure, and vibrant cultural scene make it an ideal base for exploring the region. Just minutes from the city center, you can reach beaches, natural sanctuaries, and riverbanks that are breathtaking in their scale. The Biobío River, the widest in the country, offers one of the most unique landscapes in the south at its mouth, especially on the Hualpén Peninsula, where trails, black sand beaches, and historical heritage coexist in the same space.
The coastline is one of the region's greatest assets. Coves like Lenga, Tumbes, and Chome combine seafood cuisine, local identity, and biodiversity. In Chome, whale watching has also become a growing attraction, with responsible tourism initiatives that highlight the area's historical connection to the sea.
To the south, the Arauco Territory offers cultural depth. Expansive beaches, communities with strong identities, and the presence of the Nahuelbuta mountain range define a landscape unlike any other in Chile. It is an area with high potential for nature tourism, surfing, and cultural experiences, still far from mass tourism.
The Biobío region boasts another key component: emerging wine tourism. The Biobío Valley has gained recognition for its minimal-intervention wines and for rescuing heritage grape varieties. The case of Malbec Bordeaux, rediscovered in 2011, positions the region as a hub of interest for travelers seeking authentic and distinctive offerings within the South American wine scene.
The mountain range completes the circuit. Antuco and Laguna del Laja National Park are major hubs for regional adventure tourism. In winter, the Biobío region's only ski resort attracts local and international visitors; in summer, the trails, viewpoints, and outdoor activities extend the tourist season. The seasonal opening of the Pichachén International Pass strengthens integration with Argentina and opens new possibilities for binational tours.
Biobío is a region that is moving forward with balance: it develops infrastructure without losing its identity, promotes tourism without sacrificing authenticity, and is projecting itself as a key destination within southern Chile and the Southern Cone.
