Quillota, Agricultural center in Valparaíso Region, Chile

The city stretches along the Aconcagua River valley at 462 meters elevation, surrounded by fertile lands supporting extensive fruit cultivation and farming activities.

Spanish explorer Diego de Almagro first discovered the valley in 1536, leading to the establishment of a fortress and agricultural settlement by Pedro de Valdivia.

The central square maintains its original colonial Spanish design of seven blocks, reflecting the traditional urban planning methods of early Chilean settlements.

The municipal area connects to neighboring cities through a network of roads, offering regular bus services to Valparaíso, Santiago, and surrounding communities.

The region produces substantial quantities of avocados and cherimoyas, making it a central distribution point for these fruits throughout Chile.
