Buin, Administrative commune in Maipo Province, Chile
Buin is a commune in Maipo Province located south of Santiago, combining urban and rural areas across varied terrain. The region is characterized by agricultural lands and several smaller towns that form the wider municipal area.
Buin was formally established as a commune in 1844, creating organized administrative governance in the Maipo Valley. This development laid the foundation for the region's subsequent growth and local organization.
The population of 63,419 residents distributes between urban and rural areas, maintaining agricultural traditions while adapting to modern metropolitan influences.
You can reach Buin via the Pan-American Highway and the Autopista del Maipo, which provide direct connections to Santiago. Visiting early in the day gives you better light for exploring the landscape and towns.
The municipality contains several distinct towns including Maipo, Viluco, Linderos, and Valdivia de Paine scattered across its territory. These dispersed settlements reveal how the commune functions as a network of separate places rather than a single center.
