Bismarck Tower
A nice hike uphill on well maintained trails, through a eucalyptus forest. At the highest point of the Cerro Caracol there is a stone tower built in 1921 by the German community in Concepcíon as a tribute to the first chancellor of Germany, Otto von Bismarck. On the way back you can either retrace your steps or walk north-east towards the University of Concepcíon.
