Libertador General Bernardo O’Higgins
Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz is the center of the Valle de Colchagua, in the O'Higgins region, about 180 km south of Santiago. The town life revolves around the Plaza de Armas, with the carillon and the parish church, and the Museo de Colchagua, which holds thousands of natural history and Chilean artifacts. Around it, the Carretera del Vino leads to wineries such as Laura Hartwig, Viu Manent, Montes, MontGras and Viña Santa Cruz, known for their Carménère and Cabernet Sauvignon reds. In March, the Fiesta de la Vendimia takes over the square.
