Discovering Hidden Treasures at La Herradura

Our adventure began at the picturesque La Herradura, a beach that seemed to whisper tales of old pirates and hidden treasures. As we arrived at the viewpoint, the calm waves and the golden sands stretched out before us, inviting us to explore. The kids were immediately drawn to the water, their laughter mingling with the gentle lapping of the waves.

I couldn’t help but imagine the legendary privateer Drake, rumored to have buried his treasure nearby. While we didn’t find any gold, the real treasure was the time spent together, building sandcastles and sharing stories. The beach was perfect for families, with its gentle waves and ample space for the kids to run free.

Surfing and Sunbathing at Totoralillo

Next, we headed to Totoralillo, a stunning peninsula with two white sand beaches and turquoise waters. The moment we arrived, I knew this was a place for adventure. The kids were eager to try their hand at surfing, and the gentle waves provided the perfect opportunity for beginners.

While the kids took their surfing lessons, my husband and I took a leisurely stroll along the beach, soaking in the sun and the breathtaking views. The beach was bustling with families, all enjoying the perfect blend of relaxation and excitement. We even tried our hand at recreational diving, discovering a vibrant underwater world just beneath the surface.

A Taste of Paradise at Guanaqueros and Tongoy

Our journey continued to Guanaqueros, where the fine sand and calm waters made it an ideal spot for water sports. The panoramic view from the Mirador was simply unmissable, offering a sweeping vista of the coastline. The kids were thrilled to try paddleboarding, and I was content to watch them from the shore, camera in hand, capturing every moment.

Finally, we arrived at Tongoy, a place that felt like a hidden gem. The crystal-clear waters and white sands were a sight to behold, and the local cuisine was a delightful surprise. We indulged in fresh oysters, a local delicacy, and explored the wetlands, home to a diverse array of species. It was a perfect end to our day, a blend of nature, adventure, and family bonding.

This Spas and Beaches Tour was more than just a tour; it was a journey through some of the most beautiful and family-friendly beaches in the Coquimbo Region. Each stop offered something unique, from the legends of La Herradura to the vibrant life of Tongoy. It was a day filled with laughter, exploration, and unforgettable memories.
