This little village has good ocean views and a few restaurants and cabins. Head to the bridge for a 30-minute boat tour of the Laguna de Cahuil (CH$5000 per boat with up to five people), and to purchase local ceramics. Further inland, follow the Ruta de la Sal, a scenic drive past salt farms and tidelands teeming with waterfowl.
