Biobío crossings
Several road and rail bridges span the Biobío and link the centre with San Pedro de la Paz. On paper they form a set of long parallel strokes across a very wide stretch of water.

The map
About this Concepción map poster
Concepción sits just inland from the Pacific, where the Biobío River runs toward the sea. It is one of the widest rivers in Chile. On a map the city centre is a regular grid of square blocks around the Plaza de la Independencia, and the wooded ridge of Cerro Caracol rises sharply along its eastern edge. Several bridges cross the river to San Pedro de la Paz, and their long spans show as fine lines over open water.
The present city is not the original one. Concepción was founded at Penco on the bay to the north. In the mid-eighteenth century, after earthquakes and tsunamis destroyed that first site, it moved inland to the Valle de la Mocha. The Plaza de la Independencia takes its name from the proclamation of Chilean independence read there in 1818, and the grid still spreads outward from that square in every direction.
A Concepción map poster picks up details that are easy to miss at street level. Small lagoons such as Las Tres Pascualas sit among the blocks. The University of Concepción campus spreads green toward the hills. Rail lines and avenues tie the city to Talcahuano and the port towns along the coast. In black and white, the river and the ridge frame everything else.

Cerro Caracol
A forested hill rises directly behind the eastern blocks. Its contour gives the grid a hard edge and leaves a wide, unbroken space in the pattern of streets.
University campus
The University of Concepción occupies a broad campus on the eastern side of the centre. Its curving paths and open lawns stand out against the strict rectangular blocks of the old city around it.

Why Concepción
A map that means something
People from Concepción, students who spent years on its campus and anyone with ties to the Biobío region tend to recognise the river and the hill at a glance. The map is a quiet reminder of a city that has rebuilt itself more than once and kept its shape.
You can add your own title, a date or a subtitle, and adjust the coordinates line, then choose one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Download the HD files for $9 or order a printed poster with an optional wooden frame.
