Teno

Teno is a commune in Curicó Province that spans flat to rolling terrain with both urban settlements and extensive farmland. The area sits at moderate elevation and blends agricultural operations with smaller town centers.

Teno was established as an independent commune in 1865 as part of Chile's administrative reorganization in the 1800s. This reform allowed better management of farming operations and local affairs in the region.

The people of Teno come from mixed heritage and Mapuche roots, with families working the land for generations. Traditional farming methods and local customs shape daily life throughout the region.

When visiting, keep in mind that the area is largely rural, so shops and services are spread across the landscape. Having a vehicle or checking local transportation options beforehand helps you explore different parts more easily.

Most residents live in rural areas rather than clustered in a town center, showing how closely the people remain tied to farming and the land. This pattern sets it apart from other communes where population concentrates more in urban zones.
