Description:
Valdivia is named after its founder the Spanish Conquistador Pedro de Valdivia and is located at the confluence of three rivers – the Calle-Calle, Valdivia, and Cau-Cau. It lies about 15 km (nine miles) east of the coastal towns of Corral and Niebla and approximately 500NM south of Santiago.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
In 1960 Valdivia was severely damaged by the Great Chilean earthquake. At magnitude 9.5 it was one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. Debris and destroyed buildings can still be seen in some areas. In addition, land subsidence and sediments have resulted in complex navigation challenges on the local rivers and in some areas, ruins of buildings are visible from the water.
