Los Andes, Mountain city in Valparaíso Region, Chile

Los Andes stands at 819 meters above sea level, positioned between mountains that create a natural corridor connecting Chile with neighboring Argentina.

The city emerged in 1791 during Chile's colonial period, establishing itself as a settlement along the natural route through the mountains between Chile and Argentina.

The local population maintains traditional agricultural practices while incorporating elements from both Spanish colonial heritage and indigenous Aymara customs in their daily lives.

Los Andes functions as a primary transportation hub for travelers and cargo moving between Chile and Argentina through the Cristo Redentor mountain pass.

The surrounding terrain supports numerous vineyards that produce grapes at high altitudes, resulting in wines with particular characteristics due to mountain climate conditions.
