| Rangagua Chile is
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. |
