Quintay is a small fishing village located about 47 km (29 mi) to the south of Valparaíso, Chile.

From the village center, small lanes wind down to the caleta, or creek, where there's a fishing harbor with its seafood restaurants. Here you can see the fishermen unload their catch amidst over sea birds and sea otters. Also on the harbor are diving schools that provide scuba diving as well as kayaking excursions.

Quintay has two main beaches. Playa Chica is a picturesque beach about 10 minutes from the central plaza on foot. Its coast is bordered by high cliffs pounded by the surf. The other beach in the village is Playa Grande, which has a stretch of golden sands, and some condominium developments.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
