Even that presently Pichilemu is known world-wide by this sport, is not less certain that a great amount of tourists, year by year feels attracted by the numerous activities and panoramas that are offered in the rural sectors. In effect, the tourism farmer offers a great amount of alternatives to appreciate, for example, its crafts (gredas of the Copao, clay of Pañul); its gastronomy through the Farmers Ranches (Ranchos Campesinos): Saint Andrews in Plum Trees (San Andrés en Ciruelos), White Ravine Gold (Oro Blanco en Barrancas) and the Bronze ( Bronce) in Villa next to the Nilahue matting. In each one of these farms you will be able to taste delicious plates with traditional food, as well as typical drinks.
In Pichilemu you will be able to know the beach Saint Anthony (San Antonio) that goes through the riverside avenue, The Finishing Nail (La Puntilla) borders, where annually, between October and December it is carried out the The International Championship of Surf and the Palace and Park Agustín Ross, declared National Monument. The sunsets are seen from the Viewpoint the Infiernillo, in the Stroll of Youth.
Pichilemu has 12,392 inhabitants. It is capital of the province Cardinal Caro (Cardenal Caro). In 1885, Agustín Ross Edwards bought an adjacent large farm and initiated a campaign to construct the branch of the railroad, in order to qualify here an out port for the production of Colchagua. In addition, he founded a resort.
By the end of century XIX, he created a great park on the beach that is conserved until today. Within the enclosure of the park it was built, between 1906 and 1909, the first casino that functioned in the country and that worked until 1932, when the Casino of Vine of the Sea (Casino de Viña del Mar) was inaugurated, and took off the patent to this one. The building counted on hotel, warehouse, pharmacy and post office and telegraphs. It was also installed a spending fuel pump for his fleet of automobiles. Most important of the resort created by Don Agustín Ross Edwards, pioneer of the Chilean tourism, is that was declared Typical Zone.
In addition to the testimonies of its refined past, Pichilemu today has a buoyant and popular summery activity, with practice of sports, varied cultural gastronomy and hotel profession, activities, nocturnal fairs of games and attractions. Outside the season of vacations, the city receives the greater amount of foreign tourists, surfers in its majority, attracted by its famous waves.
In order to know Pichilemu in a visit, go in direction towards the sea and cross the riverside avenue, that borders all the length of the beach Saint Anthony (San Antonio) (the main one), with numerous places of observation. From the Finishing Nail (La Puntilla), you will also see the silhouette of the building of the ex- Casino as well as the park surrounded by its applied balustrades characteristics.
Advance until the beach the Finishing Nail (La Puntilla), where it is annually carried out, between October and December, the International Championship of Surf (El Campeonato Internacional de Surf), that has given great fame to this place abroad.
Return rising by the Av. Agustín Ross, bordered by trees of macro carps pruned with geometric forms, until the Park Agustín Ross, declared national monument, that was constructed in 1885 and you count on centennial palms, meadows and sink. We recommended a long walk by the park, with a wonderful View to the beach.
To a flank of the park, the building of the ex- Casino of Games (ex-Casino de Juegos) is raised, declared national monument and constructed between 1906 and 1909 that displays the aspect of a French castle. At the moment, the Room of Art Agustín Ross (La Sala de Arte Agustín Ross) works there and a tourist information center; the total restoration is awaited to turn it into a cultural center.
In front of the ex- Casino it is the entrance to the Municipal Forest (Bosque Municipal), green area of almost 0.6 miles of extension, the one that can be crossed by a footpath surrounded by palms and pines (there are tennis courts in leasing). From that point will be able to accede to the hill the Cross (Cerro la Cruz) and to enjoy a great panoramic View there.
Return to the center or, if you prefer, you can make the traditional stroll in "small goats" (vehicle of 2 wheels) or in cars thrown by horses.
More to the north, in front of the Petrel Lagoon (Laguna Petrel) is located the building of the ex- Railway station (ex Estación de Ferrocarriles), declared national monument, that dates from 1925 and in its wood construction, it rescues volumetric and decorative elements of the time.
At the sunset, the young people take a walk throughout the riverside avenue and go to the viewpoint of Infiernillo (Mirador de Infiernillo), to see the sunset and soon return to the meeting places, in front of the main beach and throughout the Ortúzar street (Calle Ortúzar).
To the south of Infiernillo, a coast with cliffs extends, between which there are attractive beaches. Most famous is End of Wolves (Punta de Lobos), to 3.7 miles, described more ahead.
