To begin with, it’s pronounced Or-Cone. It’s a tiny coastal town, almost a village if you will, but very picturesque. If you’re an avid photographer, amateur or otherwise, then this little town is a photographer's dream.

Horcon is just about 30 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Vina Del Mar. It’s a tiny fishing village and beach town.

It’s a town that makes its living from two things: fishing and tourists. Mostly the renting of quiet cabana's to tourists looking to "get away from it all". The ironic thing about this town is that literally everywhere you go there’s a "for rent" (Se Arriendo) sign hanging. Here you can rent a cabana or just a room or "piezas" as they’re locally referred to. What's even more amazing is you can literally knock on just about any door in town and ask the occupants if they have a room to rent and nine times out of ten they’ll say yes.

If you’re looking for big sights here there are none. If you’re looking for big attractions or museums you will equally not find those here either. (There is a beautiful public garden you can enjoy though). This town is for those people that love the ocean and beautiful views at sunset.

There are a few bars and some restaurants all boasting how they have the best seafood in town, but then remember this is a town that makes its living by the sea, so just about every restaurant has great food and the fish is of course fresh as the catch of the day.

The beaches are lined with the many little boats and dingies that the local fisherman use to make their catches, as well as being loaded with people enjoying the cool air and sun. There's nothing like having a margarita in a small tavern or open air bar fronting the ocean.

It's truly a place where Jimmy Buffet would feel at home!

The locals are a curious people, who only care about the sun by day and a cold beer at night. No one is in a rush for anything and in this little village it’s almost as if time has stopped. Life is simple and that’s how everyone wants it.

They shun the big cities like Santiago and are content to have their own little private world here.

There’s one main road that comes into Horcon and it pretty much has everything on this one road. You can find housing accommodations as well as stores and restaurants. Some of the accommodations are pretty swanky and some are downright run down but there’s definitely a living situations for any and all.

Most of the available land is about ten minutes from the center of town or village rather.

Level and mostly dirt surrounded by many trees, a resourceful man could easily build a cabin or cabana and live well or rent it out and make a living. I see potential everywhere I look but this place is not for everyone, only those souls seeking true peace and quiet from a fast paced existence.
