San Antonio (Chile)

    0.06 sec.

San Antonio

Major port in the Valparaíso region of central Chile, 64 km/40 mi south of the city of Valparaíso; population (1996) 65,174. Copper is transported here by rail from the huge, nationalized El Teniente mine inland near Rancagua, and exported. San Antonio is also a busy fishing port, with facilities for packaging and processing catches.

There are popular seaside and curative resorts in the vicinity of the town, including, for example, Cartagena 8 km/5 mi to the north.

San Antonio is at the mouth of the Maipo River; wines from further inland up this river valley are some of the most highly prized of the Central Valley area.
