Valdivia Province

Where rivers meet in southern Chile, the city of Valdivia is known for its riverside scenery, German-influenced culture and colonial forts.

Valdivia Province lies in the Los Ríos Region of southern Chile, and its capital, Valdivia, is also the regional capital. The city sits at the confluence of several rivers, sea lions can be seen at the riverside fish market, and the city preserves architecture and a beer culture left by German immigrants. Near the river mouth, Niebla, Corral and other places have Spanish colonial-era defensive forts that can be visited by boat; the surroundings also include temperate rainforest and coastal reserves. The climate is rainy, and summer (December to March) is the best time to visit. The gateway is Pichoy Airport, and long-distance buses also connect with Santiago and the cities of the Lake District.
