	Coquimbo Region - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CL-CO Coquimbo is Chile's fourth administrative region from north to south.
		Coquimbo, a seaport with a greater industrial base than La Serena, is also a beach resort, though generally regarded as grittier, and therefore less attractive for recreational purposes.
		The Coquimbo region forms the narrowest part, or 'waist' of Chile, and is hence one of the country's more mountainous regions, as the Andes range runs closer to the sea than elsewhere.

		If this bill is approved, it may open the way for other regions to be created, such as in the provinces of Ñuble, Aconcagua, and in provinces in the south of the Maule Region.
