- Abstract
Lebu is the capital city of Arauco Province in the Bio-Bio Region and it is situated 145 km south of Concepcion, the regional capital. It extends over 562.9 km2, which represents 1.52% of the area of the region and 0.07% of the total area of the country. Its geographical coordinates are: latitude 37°36″S and longitude 73°40″W. It is bounded on the north by the river Quiapo that separates it from Arauco, on the east by Curanilahue and Los Alamos, on the south by Tirua and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. This city represents a very important urban settlement for being a rather provincial centre or a vast coastal area of indigenous Mapuche communities; an etnic group that fights to become part of the integrated regional development while maintaining their traditions and values.
