The Dunes of Con Con

The coastline of Valparaiso Bay is divided into several different sectors. From the south, they are: Playa Ancha, Valparaiso, Viña del Mar, Reñaca, and Con Con. From my house (in Playa Ancha), I can see the large dunes rising up on the farthest visible point in Con Con. I finally visited them this weekend.

The dunes are like an erratic, plopped down between the cities of Reñaca and Con Con. It´s extremely easy just to hop off the bus and start climbing. From the highway, it´s a short climb to the top, and from there they descend all the way to the ocean (on a steep slope ideal for sandboarding), ending at a rocky viewpoint.
