Pomaire is a typical small village of Central Chile, rich in craftsmanship and culinary tradition. Its population is around 10,000 inhabitants and is located in the Commune of Melipilla, 50 km. West of Santiago. Access is via Ruta 78, highway also known as Autopista del Sol.
The place is well known among Chileans for being a town of great tradition and very close to Santiago, the capital city, but for the majority of the foreign tourists, Pomaire is still a place to discover.
Since ancient times, clay pottery has made this village famous, surrounded by hills that have provided the necessary raw material for centuries, this has been the main activity since before the arrival of the conquistadors. Along its main streets are the workshops where thousands of artifacts are manufactured and offered. Many are the shapes that can be modeled with this noble material, from large "cantaros" (jugs), cookware, dishes, flowerpots, to small "chanchitos de greda" (clay piggy banks), which constitute an excellent souvenir, anyway you can choose from a variety of shops and prices.
