Osorno, Commercial city in Los Lagos Region, Chile
Osorno sits at the confluence of Rahue and Damas rivers, positioned 945 kilometers south of Santiago in a region known for dairy production.
Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza established the city as Villa de San Mateo de Osorno in 1558, though it faced destruction by Huilliche people in 1602.
The substantial German immigration during the 19th century left permanent marks on local architecture, cuisine, and agricultural development throughout the region.
The city functions as a primary transportation hub, connecting Chile's central regions to the southern territories of Aysen and Magallanes through land routes.
The Cardenal Antonio Samore Pass near Osorno provides the only year-round land connection between central Chile and Argentine Patagonia through the Andes.
