Isla de Yáquil (Spanish for Island of Yáquil; also known as La Isla) is a Chilean town located in Santa Cruz, Colchagua Province, Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins Region.

A town is a human settlement. Towns are generally larger than villages but smaller than cities, though the criteria to distinguish them vary considerably between different parts of the world.

Santa Cruz is a Chilean city and commune, located in the Colchagua valley, in the O'Higgins Region, located on the southern shore of the Tinguiririca river, 110 miles from Santiago, Chile's capital city and 27 miles from San Fernando.

Colchagua Province is one of three provinces of the central Chilean region of O'Higgins (VI). Its capital is San Fernando. It is bordered on the north by Cachapoal Province, on the east by the Argentine Republic, on the south by Curicó Province, and on the west by Cardenal Caro Province.

In 1899 it was described in Francisco Solano Astaburuaga y Cienfuegos' Diccionario Geográfico de la República de Chile as "a location of the northern section of the Curicó Department located in some hills of the same name, north of the village of Santa Cruz and Quinchañihue".^[1]

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
