Tongoy is a little coastal town 430km north of Santiago (following route 5). tongoy is known for its beaches, fresh water ways and gastronomy, but also for its fantastic #Goldenhour sunsets. To get to the place where we took this picture you need to drive up the main street called "fundiciĂłn norte" and follow it through around the island, the road will change names to "fundiciĂłn sur",  when you pass the big police resort precinct you will see a tiny little Street on your left called "Las Gaviotas" get in there and follow it to the end, jump off your car and sit in the Rocks to wait till the sun and gloriously sets in the pacific ocean. Anytime in the year you will be fine, in Tongoy the skies are always clear at sunset time, but please take a jacket with you the wind picks up at that time and can get quite chilli :).  Let us know if you ever make it here, we really really loved this place :)

Follow route 5 from Santiago 430km to the north, take the exit that says tongoy, the town is small enough you will see a cross in its highest point, there are multiple access to it, just keep and eye on it while you walk to it and you will get there.

We rode a horse from #cochiguaz in the #Elquivalley or #valledelelqui, with the sunset in our back while we head straight towards the moon. This is the view when the sun finally left us to hide among the mountains. 
If you want a  truly remarkable experience contact Felipe from camping ganimedes in cochiguaz, he is a local horse breeder who knows the area like the back of his hand, is really fun and interesting to talk to and makes a mean queso de cabra asado (grilled goats cheese).
