El Monte, Administrative commune in Talagante Province, Chile
El Monte extends over 118 square kilometers in the Chilean Central Valley, positioned along the northern bank of the Mapocho River at 270 meters elevation.
The region originated as Llopeo before Spanish arrival, and Franciscan priests established a settlement in 1579, leading to the foundation of Villa San Francisco de El Monte.
The municipality organizes two main festivals: Pilares de El Monte in February and the CATAM Traditional Fair in April, featuring national and international performers.
The commune connects to Santiago through public transportation networks and maintains essential services for its 35,923 residents, including schools and medical facilities.
The San Francisco de El Monte Church, designated as a National Monument in 1974, represents the architectural heritage of the Talagante Province.
