Playa Cochoa | Wild Camping

January 11th, 2023 by journeytoinnerself_

This is a very nice spot by the side of the road, right by the shore. It gets calm from 10pm onward (we stayed on a Tuesday night; might get busier other days). Cars pass by during the night, but it was no issue for us. Also some people walking and some cars stopping to appreciate the view, but no one bothered us. We parked with the back of Guria (our Defender) to the sea, so we opened the door and were able to watch sea lions and a stunning sunset. We felt safe. There's a short path leading to where the waves break. As almost any place we found in Chile, unfortunately the surrounding is full of trash.

There are several places further up the road to park and stay for the night. we first stayed at a "bigger" one that could fit 4 cars and had to move because local kids were drinking and being loud here (it was a Saturday after all), we drove a bit further and found a quiet spot. Right next to the sea, not a super busy road on the other side. perfect for a night.

We loved this spot so much we came back for New Years Eve and you could see fireworks over all of Valparaíso

Large spot next to the road that is great for an overnight stay. Only spot we could find without parking restrictions, everywhere else specifically says no campers.

Right next to the ocean and if the time of year is right, you might even see the rocks covered in seals. Traffic was fairly light overnight but you might need earplugs, and we weren't bothered by anyone. Loved falling asleep to the sound of waves and seals!

Great spot! They're constructing a new building across the street, so not sure how long it will last. Cross the street and to the left there is a long staircase. Go left at the top and at the end of the road you'll find paths up the Dunas de Concón, that are worth the climb up (preferably at sunset).

We stayed the night here as spots south of here (Playa Cochoa, Playa Reñaca) do not permit parking for Casa Rodantes. Some road noise but we slept well, you also get the sound of waves. A few cars stopped in the night for views but moved on. No facilities. Average speed 4G with Claro.
