sea wolves and rock formations, this overwhelming site works as a great window to observe the coastline in a close way. Also, close by is the awarded building of
Oceanic Sciences and Natural Resources Faculty of the Valparaiso University.

go on foot, due to its proximity (3 kilometers) to the renowned
Renaca resort.

beautiful view tof herds of
sea lions that rest and have fun in this rocky beach terrain. One of the ways to distinguish this site is to appreciate how the beach is filled with rocks, becoming, a
true ecosystem where birds, fish and, of course, sea lions coexist. Do not be surprised if you even find a variety of
penguins that reach the central coast of Chile at some point.
Here it is possible to go down to the sand and enjoy the coastal wind,
climbing some rocks and
watching the sunset, which has become one of the favorite options for visitors. Another way to recognize this area is by the fun sea lion sculpture that precedes the lookout, which serves as an indicator for many
tourists.
