The Río Valdivia ( Valdivia River ) originates in the southern Chilean city of Valdivia through the merger of the coming from the southeast Río Calle Calle and the channel-like, leading- north of Rio Cau Cau east of Isla Teja.

On the southeast side of the Teja Island of Valdivia River continues to flow, to unite at the southern tip of the island city Teja with the flowing north from Río Cruces. Further to the southwest, he then opens after a total of 15 kilometers in the Corral Bay across from the town of Corral in the Pacific Ocean. The width varies between a minimum of 100 meters between Teja and the old town of Valdivia (200 meters at the only bridge Puente Pedro de Valdivia / Avenida Los Robles, which has the world's strongest ever recorded earthquake of Valdivia survived 1960) and just over a mile of the widest point. Over its full length, it is navigable, but little or predominantly traveled by pleasure boats and tidal fluctuations.
