Work Place
Pichilemu is considered the secret capital of the small but very lively scene of windsurfers and surfers in South America. The small seaside resort 250 km south of Valparaíso attracts beginners as well as professionals with great waves and hot parties. Every year, many European and American surfers visit the city’s beaches.
In the city and the surrounding area there are small forests and beautiful parks, such as the Municipal Park Agustín Ross Edwards, which has been a national monument since 1988. Wonderful lagoons in the surrounding area invite you to hike and picnic.
