Lautaro Bridge

Lautaro Bridge is much more than a crossing over the Mataquito River. It is a symbol of connection between Curepto and Licantén and an important link for rural life and agricultural trade in Maule. Nearly 280 meters long, it forms part of Route K-60, one of the main roads toward the coast.

After the 2010 earthquake, the bridge was repaired and reinforced so it could continue supporting this vital connection between communities. Today, beyond its practical role, it is a good place to stop for a few minutes and enjoy a panoramic view of the Mataquito River and its green banks.

If you are driving, follow road signs because maintenance work may occasionally be under way. If you cross on foot, take a moment to listen to the river, which is part of the identity and memory of many Curepto residents. It is both a crossing point and a meeting place, where Maule’s landscape and history come together above the Mataquito.
