Pikunwijimapu

Pikunwijimapu is the northern part of Huilliche country in southern Chile, around the rivers and forests of Valdivia. The Huilliche, or people of the south, occupied a broad territory extending from the Toltén River towards Chiloé. Their lands contained lakes and wooded valleys between the Andes and the Pacific. Spanish forts and settlements at Valdivia brought the communities of this region into a long history of conflict, negotiation and exchange.

The later city of Valdivia lies here.
