Once a port of entry for German immigrants during the 19th century, the city of Valdivia is a hotbed of culture and education in southern Chile. Nestled at the confluence of the Calle-Calle, Valdivia, and Cau-Cau rivers, the capital of the Los Ríos region is wrapped in an amalgam of Spanish and German influences. True to its cosmopolitan quality, Valdivia takes pride in its various annual cultural events, educational institutions, affordable nightlife, and great craft beer. Aside from its more than 140,000 residents, Valdivia is also home to sea lions and pelicans. Besides the city’s riverside market, visitors are allowed to give these special inhabitants some snacks which can be bought from local fishmongers. Although Valdivia suffered much damage during the Great Chilean Earthquake of 1960, it still managed to rise up and develop into one of Chile’s most beautiful cities. Valdivia is truly a city that should be on anyone’s list. If you wish to discover more of this city amidst the rivers, here are some of the best Airbnb vacation rentals to stay in the area.
