Lebu, Port city in Arauco Province, Chile
The city extends along the south bank at the mouth of the Lebu River, functioning as a central administrative hub for the Arauco Province.
Colonel Cornelio Saavedra established the city in 1862, following multiple attempts to build settlements that were affected by conflicts with indigenous groups.
The International Film Festival takes place in Lebu each summer since 2001, displaying films at the Mining Museum, Tamaya Museum, and Archaeological Museum.
The municipality provides services to 25,522 residents through its administrative offices, which can be contacted at +56 412 866 700 for local assistance.
The name Lebu derives from Leufu in Mapudungun language, meaning river, and the city maintains status as Chile's largest artisanal fishing port.
