Algarrobo - Docking

Marina:

Do not mistake Club de Yates de Algarrobo for Cofradia Nautica del Pacifico. The former has no marina.

Mooring at Marinan Cofradia Nautica del Pacifico is Mediterranean-style, bowlines to a buoy, stern lines ashore. Good assistance is provided by the club marineros on arrival

The marina has a 50-tonne travelift and a fuel dock. There is power and water available, both un-metred.

Ashore:

The town centre is quite small as Algarrobo has a permanent population of only about 12,000.

See this useful map showing Marina Cofradia to the left, and the Club de Yates to the right, plus shopping facilities.

Aside from the marina restaurant, which is open on weekends, there are several restaurants along the beachfront. A short walk to lovely beaches to the south with small cafes and other amenities.

For provisioning, there is a Lider Express (supermarket), Ferreteria (hardware store), and laundry, as well as a range of other shops.

El Quisco, a little further south, offers a more pleasant shopping experience.

Both can be reached by catching a San Antonio bus just beyond the Club de Yates - 1.5 km from the marina along the seafront. The fare to Lider Express is $CH700, all the way to San Antonio is $CH1400. The Cofradia marina office will phone for a taxi - $CH4000 to Lider. It is a 2.2 kilometre walk - mainly uphill.

Buses to Santiago - Turbus and Pullman - depart from near Lider where a new terminal is currently being built.
