O'Higgins Region, Administrative region in central Chile
The O'Higgins Region extends from the Pacific Ocean to the Andes Mountains, encompassing three provinces: Cachapoal, Cardenal Caro, and Colchagua over 16,387 square kilometers.
Named after Bernardo O'Higgins, Chile's first head of state, this region played a central role in the country's independence with the Battle of Rancagua in 1814.
The region maintains strong agricultural traditions through wine production, cattle ranching, and copper mining, particularly at El Teniente, the world's largest underground copper mine.
The regional capital Rancagua connects to Santiago via the Pan-American Highway and serves as a transportation hub for agricultural products and mining resources.
The region's geography allows both salt production at coastal evaporation ponds and winter sports in the Andes, while supporting extensive fruit orchards in its central valley.
