Fodor's Expert Review Quintay Whaling Station

Quintay Factory

Fundación Quintay looks after this former whaling station, which operated from 1943 to 1967 and processed approximately 13,700 whales. It's been converted into a quaint museum that gives you a window into this coastal town's past. The museum, along with the skeletal remains of a whale, are just a stone's throw away from the handful of brightly colored fishing boats at the wharf.
