Colchagua Province, Agricultural province in O'Higgins Region, Chile

Colchagua Province covers 5,678 square kilometers across central Chile's valley, featuring vineyards, farmlands, and the Tinguiririca River flowing through its territory.

The province established its administrative center in San Fernando during 1742, when governor-general José Antonio Manso de Velasco founded the city as regional capital.

Within the ten communes of Colchagua Province, local craftsmen maintain traditional basket weaving practices in Chimbarongo while wine production flourishes throughout the region.

The Pan-American Highway and regular Metrotrén railway service connect San Fernando to Santiago, providing transportation options for residents and visitors throughout the province.

Las Termas Del Flaco thermal baths near San Fernando contain natural hot springs where visitors can observe native parrots and discover preserved dinosaur footprints.
