Cities
- – Chile's second largest city
- – Especially Frutillar Bajo, a popular tourist destination due to its German history and nearby Osorno vulcano.
- – On the eastern shore of Villarrica Lake in the southeast of the region. Popular for hiking to the nearby Villarrica vulcano and Huerquehue National Park.

- – Similar to Frutillar but larger.
- – biggest city of the Araucanía
- – city bordering the Calle-Calle river

Understand
The Southern Chile region consists of the four local government regions of Araucanía, Biobío, Los Lagos (which includes Chiloé Island) and Los Ríos.
Talk
Spanish is widely spoken in all the region, but the southern people speak a bit slower than Santiaguinos. In the Araucanía region, the Mapudungun (the dialect spoken by Mapuche people) is used in rural communities, especially between elders.
