Puertecillo
Edit SpotAbout
Pristine and beautiful...keep it clean. Threatened by development.
Additional Info:
An outstanding left point that is tucked away and requires more swell than other spots in the region. Long perfect tubes when on. Crowded on weekends...camping only, no facilities whatsoever and private access. Must obtain permission from the hacienda owners.
Location
Loading...Access
Very difficult. Permission must be obtained in Santiago to access the private farmland where the point is located. Best to hook up with a local, otherwise near impossible to get in.
