It is bordered on the north by Araucanía Region, on the south by Aisén Region, on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the east by the Argentine Republic (provinces of Neuquén, Río Negro and Chubut).
Los Ríos Region: Information from Answers.com (359 words)
Los Ríos Region is a proposed region of Chile.
The current Los Lagos Region is one of the biggest and most diverse regions in Chile, and the integration of the Valdivia Province was difficult due to its having a different background to the four other provinces of the region -- especially the southern provinces of Chiloé and Palena.
Supporters of this proposal are convinced that, with this new administrative and territorial division, the Los Lagos Region authorities may focus on reinforcing the integration of the isolated Chiloé and Palena.
