Curaimilla Point

Punta Curaumilla projects into the Pacific south of Valparaíso, near the bay of Laguna Verde. Its rocky shore marks an approach to the central Chilean coast, where the coastal range meets the ocean. The headland and its neighboring coves lie along the route followed by vessels sailing toward the harbor of Valparaíso. Cool waters of the Humboldt Current support the marine life found along these exposed shores.
