Coquimbo Region, Administrative region in northern Chile
The Coquimbo Region spans 40,579 square kilometers, featuring coastal areas, mountains, and valleys between the Andes range and the Pacific Ocean.
The region developed from indigenous settlements into a Spanish colonial territory, later becoming one of Chile's primary administrative divisions in the 20th century.
The Elqui Valley within the region produces grapes for pisco production, representing a significant element of Chilean agricultural and culinary traditions.
The region connects to Santiago through Route 5 highway, while the La Florida Airport in La Serena provides air transportation to major Chilean cities.
Scientific observatories across the region study astronomical phenomena through telescopes positioned under the clearest skies in the Southern Hemisphere.
