Cachagua is a rustic beach town facing the Pacific Ocean in Central Chile. It is about 73 km (45 mi) to the north of Valparaíso.

Today the coastline of Cachagua is lined with upscale resorts and condominiums belonging to people in Valparaíso and Santiago. The town center has a plaza shaded by eucalyptus trees. From here, beach paths leads down to Playa Grande, the main beach of the area.

Among the beach activities available at Cachagua include horse riding and surfing. As with Zapallar, it has seen the development of a few upscale vacation condominiums and resorts.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
