The Southern Chile region is south of central Chile, but not as far south as Patagonia.
Regions[edit]
Cities[edit]
- 1 Concepción – Chile's second largest city
- 2 Curacautín
- 3 Frutillar – Especially Frutillar Bajo, a popular tourist destination due to its German history and nearby Osorno vulcano.
- 4 Futaleufu
- 5 Pucón – On the eastern shore of Villarrica Lake in the southeast of the region. Popular for hiking to the nearby Villarrica vulcano and Huerquehue National Park.
- 6 Puerto Montt – Not that touristy, more a busy working city, but gateway for trips to the nearby Alerce Andino NAtional Park and Hornopirén further south.
- 7 Puerto Varas – Similar to Frutillar but larger.
- 8 Temuco – biggest city of the Araucanía
- 9 Valdivia – city bordering the Calle-Calle river
- 10 Villarrica – A beach town on Villarrica lake, like Pucón but a much more laid-back and relaxing option to stay in the region.

- 2 Cochamó Valley (Valle Cochamó)
- 3 Isla Mocha

Understand[edit]
The Southern Chile region consists of the four local government regions of Araucanía, Biobío, Los Lagos (which includes Chiloé Island) and Los Ríos.
Talk[edit]
Spanish is widely spoken in all the region, but the southern people speak a bit slower than Santiaguinos. In the Araucanía region, the Mapudungun (the dialect spoken by Mapuche people) is used in rural communities, especially between elders.
