Valdivia (Spanish pronunciation: [valˈd̪iʋja]) is a city and commune in southern Chile administered by the Municipality of Valdivia. The city is named after its founder Pedro de Valdivia and is located at the confluence of the Calle-Calle, Valdivia and Cau-Cau Rivers, approximately 15 km (9 mi) east of the coastal towns of Corral and Niebla. Since October 2007, Valdivia has been the capital of the newly created Los Ríos Region and is also the capital of Valdivia Province. The commune of Valdivia had 140,559 inhabitants (Valdivianos) of which 127,750 lived in the city according to the 2002 census. The main economic activities include tourism, wood pulp manufacturing, forestry, metallurgy, and beer production. The city is also the home of the Universidad Austral de Chile, founded in 1954, and Centro de Estudios Científicos.
The city of Valdivia and Chiloé Island were once the two southernmost enclaves of the Spanish Empire. From 1645 to 1740, the city depended directly on the Viceroyalty of Peru that financed the building of the Valdivian fort system, which turned Valdivia into one of the most fortified cities of the New World. In the second half of 19th century, Valdivia was the port of entry for German immigrants who were given land and settled in the surrounding areas.

un día de Mayo despertó
era el otoño, año setenta
la muerte en bote bajo al mar
Valdivia, amaneció temblando
se despertó lloviendo, se levantó llorando
no es cierto, o tal vez en mal sueño
o una pesadilla, tan sólo un mal momento
Mi ciudad se vió ante la muerte
sus casas y sus bosques, su industria
y sus puentes.
Se apagó el canto de las aves
el sueño de los hombres
el ronquido maternal de los lanchones.
Donde quedaron las sinfonías de los martillos
sobre el metal, todas las fraguas están inerte
como el obrero que las movió.
Valdivia el tiempo te ha hecho daño
ese temblor extraño tu canto apagó
es cierto, tu río está cambiado
pero la vieja luna, se sigue desnudando
mi ciudad te doy mi canto triste
para tus poblaciones, que están allá en las pampas
el sol vendrá, seguro estoy de ello
y el viejo maremoto será un cuento de viejos.
Estoy alerta en esta noche
por la mañana que vendrá
dicen que vien, por las montañas
con su carreta de carbón
viene del bosque, de Angachilla
viene a darnos su calor
viene descalza, viene desnuda
es la mañana del amor
viene bajando el Calle-Calle
hasta la calle Libertad.
