| Rancagua |
| A
largely industrial and agricultural center an hour by car south of
Santiago, Rancagua has a very fast growing economy. Coupled with its
growth for the future it also has some important links with the
past.
It was the site, actually in the town square, where patriots made a brave stand against the Spaniards ( something like the Alamo in Texas) and today it is called the Heroes Square. It has some interesting colonial architecture in La Casa de Pilar de la Esquina and La Casa de la Cultura, its Regional Museum also deserves a visit. Nearby there is a thermal resort and the city itself has a modest selection of hotels. |
