Lo Barnechea

Lo Barnechea extends across 1,023 square kilometers in northeastern Santiago province, bordered by Los Andes, Colina, Vitacura, Huechuraba, Las Condes, and San José de Maipo.

The territory witnessed successive inhabitation by Llolleo, Bato, Aconcagua, Promaucaes, and Inca cultures before becoming an independent municipality in 1991, separating from Las Condes.

The population reflects social diversity with La Dehesa and Los Trapenses housing higher-income families, while Lo Barnechea town and Población La Ermita accommodate middle and lower-income residents.

The municipality provides essential services including driver's license registration, civil registry operations, debris removal, and emergency water distribution through its administrative offices.

The area sits at 800 meters elevation with specific geographical features leading ancient inhabitants to name it after huaicos, referring to frequent landslides in the region.
