Curicó, Agricultural center in Maule Region, Chile
Located in the Central Valley between Santiago and Concepción, Curicó extends across 1,328 square kilometers of fertile land suited for fruit cultivation and viticulture.
The settlement received its initial foundation as San José de Buena Vista de Curicó in 1743, later moving locations due to ground conditions in 1747.
The Plaza de Armas contains sixty palm trees surrounding an iron kiosk, representing the central gathering point for community celebrations and social interactions.
The city maintains direct transport connections through the Pan-American Highway and railroad system, facilitating movement of agricultural products across Chile.
In 1995, the local bakery Tortas Montero created the largest cake in the world, establishing Curicó as a center for traditional Chilean pastry making.
