Colina, Metropolitan city in Santiago Region, Chile.

Colina extends over 971 square kilometers of land, situated 30 kilometers north of Santiago at an elevation of 596 meters above sea level.

The area's first human settlements date back to the Holocene period, with ancient cultures including Bato, Llolleo, Aconcagua, and Diaguita leaving archaeological evidence.

The name Colina originates from Mapuche language meaning perdiz (partridge), while another interpretation links it to a Quechua chief named Colinura.

The city connects to major urban centers through the General San Martin Highway and Los Libertadores Highway, providing direct access to Santiago and Argentina.

The municipality includes the waters of Ayres and Piedra Roja lagoons, with summer temperatures reaching up to 42 degrees Celsius.
