Zona Sur
Zona Sur is one of the five natural regions that make up the geographical division of Chile. It is characterized by its rich natural landscapes, including forests, lakes, and volcanoes. The region is also known for its agriculture, particularly the cultivation of potatoes, wheat, and oats.
Geography[edit | edit source]
The Zona Sur is located between the Bio-Bio River to the north and the Taitao Peninsula to the south. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes Mountains to the east. The region is characterized by a diverse range of landscapes, including coastal plains, rolling hills, and mountainous terrain.
Climate[edit | edit source]
The climate in the Zona Sur is generally temperate, with rainfall distributed evenly throughout the year. The region is often subject to heavy rainfall, particularly in the coastal areas. The interior regions, however, experience a more Mediterranean climate, with dry summers and wet winters.
Economy[edit | edit source]
The economy of the Zona Sur is largely based on agriculture, with the region being one of the main producers of potatoes, wheat, and oats in Chile. Other important industries include forestry, fishing, and tourism. The region is also known for its production of wine, particularly in the Maule Region and the Bio-Bio Region.
Culture[edit | edit source]
The culture of the Zona Sur is heavily influenced by the indigenous Mapuche people, who have inhabited the region for thousands of years. Traditional Mapuche customs and traditions, such as the Machi religious ceremony and the Palin sport, are still practiced in many communities. The region is also known for its traditional music and dance, particularly the cueca, the national dance of Chile.
