Talcahuano is a port city in
Chile, lying near
Concepción. The official foundation date of Talcahuano is
November 5 1764 when Antonio Guill y Gonzaga declared it as an official port. However, Talcahuano began to figure in history books as early as 1544 when the Geonese captain, Juan Bautista Pastene discovered the mouth of the Bio-Bío river while exploring the coast in his ships “San Pedro” and “Santiaguillo”.
