Chillán, Regional capital in Ñuble Region, Chile
The city extends across 511 square kilometers at an elevation of 124 meters, featuring five central plazas and numerous commercial districts along busy streets.
Martín Ruiz de Gamboa established this settlement in 1580, which later experienced substantial reconstruction following the devastating earthquake of 1939.
The Feria de Chillán market stands as a central commerce point where vendors sell traditional crafts, foods, textiles, and agricultural products.
The María Teresa terminal connects travelers through intercity buses, while the train station provides additional transportation options for reaching Santiago and southern destinations.
Chillán functions as the primary gateway to Termas de Chillán, a major ski resort located in the nearby mountains with thermal springs.
