Once the largest national company of Chile, Ballenera Quintay now acts as a museum and research center that tells the story of whale hunting in the country. Located by the seaside, this is an area where over 1,500 whales were slaughtered. Step inside the museum to find whale bones, models of ships, and pictures on exposed stone walls. After your visit, cool down with a swim at the nearby beach if the weather permits. Make Ballenera Quintay a centerpiece of your Quintay vacation itinerary, and find what else is worth visiting using our Quintay holiday website .

Very well preserved place with good expositions about the Whaling Factory. The entrance fee is very cheap and it has nice viewpoints.

You have to work at this place to get a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the significance of whaling then and what whales mean to us today...with the exception of 'scientific whaling '
