Key Facts

Limarí is a province located in the Coquimbo Region of central Chile, situated approximately 400 kilometers north of Santiago. Geographically positioned in the transitional zone between the arid Atacama Desert to the north and the more temperate central valley to the south, Limarí occupies a strategic location that combines coastal, valley, and mountainous terrain. The province covers an area of approximately 13,553 square kilometers and has a population of around 170,000 people according to recent estimates. Limarí is administratively divided into 5 communes: Ovalle (the provincial capital), Río Hurtado, Monte Patria, Combarbalá, and Punitaqui. The province's economy is primarily agricultural, known for its production of grapes, avocados, and citrus fruits, particularly in the fertile Limarí River valley. The region also features significant mining activity and growing tourism, with attractions including the Fray Jorge National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for its unique fog-fed forest ecosystem in an otherwise arid landscape. This administrative division provides the framework for organizing and accessing postal code information for its constituent communes and their respective localities.
