Paiguano, Agricultural town in Elqui Province, Chile
Paiguano is an agricultural commune in Elqui Province located in northern Chile's Coquimbo Region. The town sits within mountainous terrain where farming activities and small-scale communities form the backbone of local life.
The settlement grew as a farming center in mountainous terrain where agriculture has long been central to survival. Today it functions as an administrative hub serving the surrounding rural regions.
Representatives Mario Bertolino and Marcelo Díaz serve the 7th electoral district while senators Evelyn Matthei Fornet and Jorge Pizarro Soto represent the region.
