Yumbel, Administrative center in Bío Bío province, Chile
Yumbel extends across 727 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 87 meters above sea level in central Chile.
Governor Alonso de Sotomayor established the San Felipe de Austria fort in 1585, which later developed into the present-day city of Yumbel.
The community celebrates traditional events throughout the year, with a population density of 28 residents per square kilometer maintaining local customs.
The municipal council manages city operations through regular elections every four years, ensuring continuous administrative services for the 20,034 inhabitants.
An earthquake in 1835 led to the complete reconstruction of Yumbel, resulting in its official designation as a city in 1871.
