Surroundings of the city

- Caleta Anahuac, this is a quiet, traditional and old-fashioned place, with little houses clinging to the hillsides and brave seafarers that bring in the bounty of the ocean. It is very close to Angelmo (2 km away), and the traveler to add a touch of local flavor to his visit may board local buses to get there.

- Chinchihue, is a coastal area on the banks of the Tenglo channel, displaying to the traveler a series of scenes of life by the sea, such as: houses on stilts, oyster beds and their tenders, and the bustle of shipyards. In addition, the area offers attractions such as a beach, campsites and small restaurants.

- Pelluco Beach Resort, the unattractive translation of its name (pelluco is a native word meaning drip-water) might lead one to cross it off one's itinerary. This, however, would be a great mistake, because this residential area - endowed with attractive lodging places, restaurants, pubs and discotheques - dazzles visitors.
Among the places of tourist interest one may mention the Santa Cruz chapel, built at the beginning of the 20th century and restored in 1985 with similar materials to those used in Chilota architecture.
Another reason that it is attractive is its being the departure point for excursions to Piedra Azul, Coihuin, Quillaipe and Lenca, where one can watch the resting and feeding places of resident and migratory birds, as well as dolphins and other mammals.

- Cochamo is another of the coastal towns in this region. Among its main attractions is the Maria Inmaculada parish church, built of larch wood and lined inside with maņio and oak. The town has lodgings, restaurants and crafts fairs.

- Sotomo Hot Springs are wells with water at 37 to 41 degrees Celsius. Besides, the water is mineralized, containing 37 minerals and principally sulfur. They are located in the Reloncavi estuary, between four national parks. The wells, surrounded by wilderness, volcanoes and Andean massifs - appear when the tide begins to ebb, as from December 20th, every year.
Here fishing fans can catch good specimens of salmon, robalos and jureles.

NATURAL AREAS

- Alerce Andino National Park, this is a natural reserve covering 39,255 hectares, located in a mountainous area south of Lake Chapo, between the estuary and the small bay of Reloncavi.
Among the protected native vegetable species are: the larch, tineos, maņios, cinnamon trees, ferns and lianas; while the fauna includes: pudu deer, gray foxes, chingues and monitos del monte.
However, perhaps the most impressive thing is the forest landscape, enhanced by the waters of Sargazo lake and the deep gash eroded by the Lenca river.
Within the park there are campsites and lodges for visitors, who can undertake exciting excursions, especially along the Sargazo trail, a 10 km itinerary that displays a series of dream landscapes.

- Lahuen Ņadi Natural Park, in the interior of this park you will find the area called El Rincon, significant due to the fact it contains the only specimens of larch trees in the central valley, guaranteeing the survival of the species, which had been indiscriminately felled.
