Araucania Region

Shaped around the basins of the Cautín and Toltén rivers, Araucanía Region has developed into a southern Chilean centre of Mapuche culture, farming, forestry and travel. The Andes form its eastern edge, where Villarrica—one of Chile’s most active volcanoes—rises above Lake Villarrica. Conguillío National Park is known for its ancient araucaria forests and volcanic terrain, while Temuco serves as the regional capital and main urban hub. Mapuche traditions remain central to local identity, expressed through communities, crafts and the Mapudungun language.
