Ovalle Travel Guide

Chile

Ovalle is a city of 77,138 people in central-northern Chile. It is inland rather than a coastal resort, so travellers should not expect nearby beaches to be a main part of a visit.

The city is served by El Tuqui Airport (OVL), making air travel the straightforward option for visitors arriving by plane. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Ovalle, so coastal trips require travelling farther afield.
