Latest Zapallar hotel reviews
kiwigal_1 Says: Isla Seca (or dry island in English) is like a little peninsula that juts out at the end of the beach inlet at Zapallar. It looks like an island from afar because of the rocks on it that elevate the area that sits out in the ocean however it is connected to the mainland and...
The Caleta (Fisherman's wharf)
kiwigal_1 Says: The "caleta" or fisherman's wharf is THE place in Zapallar to buy fresh seafood if you want to cook it yourself. Fisherman go out each day and then sell their catch next to the Chiringuito restaurant close to the beach. Many of the people who stay in Zapallar have their maid...
kiwigal_1 Says: Zapallar is a great place to wander around. Granted, in summer it does get hot, but I think it is a good way to explore the place. Mary, Wini and I wandered around the rocks, along the beach, over to Isla Seca and then up through the town and these pics are of some of the...
kiwigal_1 Says: Well, the most obvious reason to go to Zapallar is to go to the beach... and a very nice beach at that! Be warned though... as with most beaches in Chile the water is very cold due to the Humbolt current. I went in the water in December and came right out again!

kiwigal_1 Says: I stayed with a family when I went to Zapallar in their beach house. Most of the beach houses in Zapallar are pretty fancy compared to baches back home though! It might be possible to find out if you can rent a place in Zapallar if you are interested in staying here over...
kiwigal_1 Says: The Chiringuito restaurant is located at the Caleta - fisherman's wharf. It has the freshest seafood served in a cute little restaurant that overlooks the beach at Zapallar.
kiwigal_1 Says: While I was in Zapallar I was amused to note that some of its residents liked to helicopter themselves in and out of Zapallar. Probably they were coming from Santiago and wanted to save themselves the 2 1/2 hour or so drive. These wealthy people had helicopter pads on their...
kiwigal_1 Says: Zapallar does not have many shops to look at however there are a few cute souvenir/gift shops which are interesting to walk around. There is a small shopping centre with a busy pastry shop in summer and a cafe. There are supermarkets (small scale) also. Apparently THE...
kiwigal_1 Says: The area that I satyed in in Zapallar was called "Mar Brava" (fierce seas) and I am sure it was named that for a reason! The ocean surrounding Zapallar is very rough and there are strong currents. The beach area is safe as it is located in a protected bay but don't do...
kiwigal_1 Says: Anything goes in this category! Well... you are going to the beach so make sure you bring a swimsuit and towel. Zapallar is the kind of place that you can easily walk around so make sure you bring good walking shoes. The Chilean sun burns very quickly so bring a good...
kiwigal_1 Says: While I was walking around the island I came across this cute church. I am sure it is well attended as Chileans tend to be pretty devout (Catholic's in the main). I didn't go into the church as it was closed at the time but the building and grounds outside were worth a look.

I had the opportunity to go to Zapallar with my boss and her family and stay at her sister's holiday home. It is a beach resort with mostly private homes and one hotel. The beach is really cute and......
