Puchacay

Puchacay lies in the valleys east of Concepción, in a country of rivers, wooded hills and cultivated land. Indigenous communities lived here before the Spanish established a colonial district bearing the same name. The Andalíen River runs through the old Puchacay country, where estates developed during the colonial centuries. Vineyards became a prominent part of the local economy, and wine was sent beyond the district as a regular export.

The later city of Concepción lies here.
