About this site
El Falucho is a shore dive site off Quintay, a small coastal town on Chile's central Pacific coast in the Valparaíso region. The area is known locally for its rocky shoreline and the marine research station nearby, with the old whaling harbor at Quintay Cove serving as the base for local diving activity. El Falucho itself is rated a beginner site, accessed directly from shore rather than by boat.
