Lelbunmapu

Lelfünmapu is the land of the plains, the central country between the coastal ranges and the Andean foothills in Mapuche territory. Its fertile valleys and relatively mild climate made it well suited to cultivation. The people of the plains were known as Lelfünche or Nagche. Alongside the coastal and mountain territories, the plains formed a broad butalmapu, a grouping through which communities could organise collective action in war and negotiation.

The later city of Temuco lies here.
