Summary
Chile's cultural landscapes, particularly those shaped during the second half of the nineteenth century, serve as significant symbols of national identity and heritage. These landscapes reflect Chile's consolidation as a nation, its economic expansion, and the integration of diverse cultural traditions, including those of indigenous peoples like the Mapuche. The study highlights both evolving and relict cultural landscapes, such as Sewell Mining Town, which represents the decline of industrial functions but retains historical significance. It also underscores the reciprocal interaction between society and environment, emphasizing the importance of these landscapes in fostering national pride and understanding.
