Valparaíso Region, Administrative region along Pacific coast, central Chile
The Valparaíso Region extends across 16,396 square kilometers, encompassing eight provinces from the Pacific Ocean to the Andes Mountains, including Easter Island.
European settlers established major trading routes through the region's ports during the 19th century, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans via the Straits of Magellan.
The region maintains four traditional universities and numerous educational institutions, forming a substantial academic center with diverse research programs and student communities.
The regional economy relies on copper mining, agricultural production, industrial manufacturing, and maritime trade through the ports of Valparaíso and San Antonio.
The territory includes both continental land and remote Pacific islands, such as Easter Island and the Juan Fernández archipelago, spanning thousands of kilometers.
