Tucked into the western side of the Santiago Basin, Pudahuel is a place whose character is shaped by a semi-arid climate and its position between the Andes and the Chilean Coast Range. Part of Greater Santiago, it combines residential districts, industry and major transport corridors across the capital’s broad basin floor. Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport lies within the commune, linking Pudahuel to Chile’s principal air network; it is named after the aviation pioneer Arturo Merino Benítez. The Mapocho River runs through northern Greater Santiago, while Pudahuel’s western location places it on routes toward the Pacific coast.
