The local experience
Neocolonial-style church facing Curacaví’s square, with arches, inner courtyards, and a bell tower. It is the oldest historic building in the town center.
Hill of the Coastal Range north of Curacaví, with an out-and-back trail to the summit at about 1,500 meters. From the top you can see the Andes and the Casablanca valley and, on clear days, the Pacific.
