Located north of the mouth of the Maule River, there is the landscape most similar to the Sahara desert imaginable. The dunes of Putú form the largest cluster of dunes that can be found in Chile. Formed by the action of the Maule River and the sea currents, this huge field of dunes never ceases to amaze anyone with its surreal views.

Declared a Sanctuary of Nature, the Church Stone. It is a huge vaulted rock with a height of approximately 50 meters, in which the erosive action of the sea sculpted caverns inside, which can be visited when the tide is low. Both this and the other rock formations that surround it, have a high value for the local fauna, since they constitute a nesting place of different species of seagulls, hawks, cormorants and pelicans.
