Rancagua, Provincial capital in O'Higgins Region, Chile
Rancagua sits at 572 meters elevation in central Chile, surrounded by the Andes mountains and stretching across 260 square kilometers of fertile land.
The Battle of Rancagua in 1814 marked a crucial point in Chilean independence when republican forces faced defeat against Spanish royalist troops.
The city maintains strong connections to Chilean rodeo traditions, with regular competitions held at the Medialuna stadium throughout the year.
Rancagua connects to Santiago through frequent train services and the Panamerican Highway, making it accessible for day trips from the capital.
El Teniente, the largest underground copper mine in the world, operates near Rancagua and significantly influences the local economy.
