  1. Colliguay in the comuna of Quilpué, Provincia de Marga Marga, Región de Valparaíso. This Colliguay is a mountainous rural valley in the coastal mountain range, about 50 km southeast of Quilpué and 30 km north of Curacaví. It has around 840 inhabitants and an economy focused on livestock, agriculture, apiculture, and tourism, especially during summer.
