Cachapoal Province

The Cachapoal Province extends across 7,384 square kilometers between the Andes Mountains and coastal range, containing seventeen distinct municipalities and numerous valleys.

The province's capital Rancagua witnessed significant battles during Chile's independence movement in the early 19th century against Spanish colonial forces.

The seventeen municipalities of Cachapoal Province maintain strong agricultural traditions through regular markets, wine festivals, and community gatherings focused on local produce.

The province connects to Santiago through multiple transportation routes, while its elevation of 364 meters provides conditions suitable for extensive grape cultivation.

The Cachapoal River system, including the Claro and Cortaderal tributaries, flows through the province before entering Lake Rapel, supporting agricultural activities.
