Teodoro Schmidt extends over 649 square kilometers, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Toltén River to the south.

The commune was established in 1981, taking its name from a German engineer who designed the streets of Temuco and planned the coastal railway line.

The Mapuche Lafkenche communities maintain their traditions through local tourism projects near Lake Budi, sharing their customs with visitors.

The town center provides essential services to approximately 15,500 residents, with 60 percent of the population living in surrounding rural areas.
