'Araucanía' is Chile's ninth administrative region from north to south. Its capital is Temuco. The region is divided into two provinces: Malleco in the north and Cautín in the south. The main tourism centre in the region is the Villarrica Lake and Pucón.
The Araucanía is the heartland of the indigenous Mapuche people who resisted both Inca and Spanish conquest attempts. Since 1885 the territory has been part of Chile after the occupation of the Araucania.
