Belonging to the Province of Choapa, and to the Region of Coquimbo, Salamanca is an eminently agricultural and mining commune that invites you to know its pleasant and quiet environment, its name comes from the surname of Doña Matilde Salamanca, who was the owner of the lands in which said city was founded.

Salamanca is known for having two important tourist destinations, the first one is La Raja de Manquehua, which according to local beliefs was the epicenter of witchcraft ceremonies and rites since a long time ago and the name "la raja" is due a wall of the mountains where you can see a large crack. The place is difficult to access and is located 25 km northeast of Salamanca.

Another important site is the Church of the Lord of the Earth, a religious sanctuary that was built during the 20th century in a town that bears the same name. In the place there is a crucifix that has the image of the Lord of the Earth, which, according to legend, appeared when some local children dug it up near a liter, at the time the image appeared, a period of abundance began in the harvest, and with it the cult of the image was consolidated. Every January 6 the site receives about 3,000 pilgrims who attend the most important festival in the entire Province of Choapa. The festival of the Lord of the Earth takes place inside the Chalinga, a sector that is located 12 km to the east of Salamanca.

Another attraction of Salamanca is that it preserves a large number of petroglyphs that are found in Chalinga, a picturesque town with beautiful ravines and where you can also visit several vineyards of chicha and chacolo (grape liquor) that are produced in an artisanal way.
