Where are we?
|

Mocha Island is located in Chile’s coast,
in front of the limit between Bio-Bio region and Araucanía
region, 34 kilometres far from Tirúa city. Administratively
it depends on Bio-Bio region. Its geographical location is 38º23’06’’
south latitude and 73º52’00’’ west longitude.
|

Its main characteristic is its oval shape, in whose center raises
a mountain range, whose highest place reaches 300 meters and it’s
covered by a thick and almost impenetrable native forest, where
OLIVE TREES, MYRTLES, FERNS, LAURELS and ULMOS abound in it most
diverse varieties. This rich virgin jungle offers the ideal habitat
for birds such as: PIPENOS, TORCAZAS, BANDURRIAS y CASTILIAN FARDELAS,
and it’s important the presence of autochthonous mammals as
the Pudú.

part, is surrounded by lots of rocks that shape numerous islets, which
allow the development of an abundant marine fauna with spectaculars
sea lions colonies, where a photograph safari will be always the best

as fishing, sail windsurf, skin-diving, or simply the compilation
of marine remains as small rocks of diverse shapes and colours,
beautiful shells of the most varied sizes and species and a historical
range of archaeological curiosities from numerous shipwrecks that
took place during the past decades, where the remains of the Santiago
boat stand out.
The gastronomic exquisitenesses from the Mocha Island’s sea
are a real pleasure to the palate. Sea urchins, snails, crabs and
locos are of the test of the most demanding chefs that constant
look here for their principal source supply. |
