Valdivia, positioned in Southern Chile, is a charming city notable for its considerable natural beauty and unique historic remnants. Known as the city of rivers, Valdivia is cradled between the Calle-Calle, Cau-Cau, and Valdivia rivers, creating an attractive waterscape stitched together with quaint bridges. The vibrant German-influenced city is renowned for its compelling history which includes Fort System of Valdivia, a series of Spanish colonial fortifications, and the botanic garden at the Austral University. Valdivia is also celebrated for its annual Summer Carnival, where an exuberant display of fireworks over the cityscape leaves its visitors awe-struck. With its riverfront markets and the country’s best craft beer derived from its Germanic brewing traditions, Valdivia truly offers an authentic slice of Chile.

Valdivia is a very beautiful and safe city to travel alone or with someone. Its natural landscapes are very beautiful, you can walk along the coast or Isla Teja or take a local bus to go to Niebla (this is also safe). I recommend trying craft beers from a local brewery, and also trying a dish with fish or seafood from the area.
