Melipilla Province, Administrative province in Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile

The province spans over 4,065 square kilometers and contains five municipalities: Curacaví, María Pinto, Melipilla, San Pedro, and Alhué.

The territory includes ancient horse trails that connected Valparaíso and Santiago, with paths dating back to the pre-colonial period and indigenous settlements.

Local communities maintain traditional agricultural practices across the province, with particular focus on fruit cultivation and livestock farming.

The province maintains direct road connections to Santiago, allowing residents to access metropolitan services while residing in a less dense environment.

The Mercedes Canal, constructed in the late 19th century, provides essential irrigation to the Curacaví valley, supporting agricultural development.
