Valdivia Province

The province encompasses eight municipalities across 10,197 square kilometers of territory, featuring rivers, mountains, and extensive native forests at the northern edge of Patagonia.

The provincial territory was established in 2007 as part of the administrative reorganization that created Los Ríos Region, with Valdivia city designated as its capital.

The Valdivian forests, named after this province, represent a distinct ecological zone with dense vegetation and native tree species found only in southern Chile.

The province maintains a network of roads connecting its municipalities, with the Pan-American Highway serving as the main transportation artery through the region.

The province contains two major water systems, the Calle-Calle and Cruces Rivers, which merge to form the Valdivia River before flowing into the Pacific Ocean.
