Santa Olga was a town in the Talca Province in central Chile's Maule Region.

In April 2016, 60 families regularized their situation, being granted titles of dominion over their homes.

On January 27, 2017, the town was destroyed by the worst wildfire in Chile's modern history.

International help arrived from Russia and help was offered from both the United States and Canada.

Ten people have been found dead including five firefighters, two policemen and three residents.
