Quilpu� is called Ciudad del Sol because compared to Valpara�so, it has many more sunny days a year. It has metropolitan train, highway and bus connections to Vi�a del Mar and Valpara�so to the coast, and also towards inland cities. Since housing is cheaper in Quilpu�, thousands of people commute every day to the coastal cities.
Quilpu� is connected to Santiago through the Route 68, with an estimated travel time of 1.15h by car and 1.30h by inter-regional bus services, that departs and arrive mostly from Pajaritos metro and interchange station, west of the national capital.
Local attractions include a Zoo (one of only three in Chile), and the rural towns of Colliguay and the Marga-Marga Valley, both with facilities for camping and hiking
