Calle-Calle River, also called Gudalafquén in Mapuche language, is a river in Valdivia Province, southern Chile. It drains waters from the San Pedro River to the Valdivia River, which in turn flows into Corral Bay on the Pacific Ocean.
The River owes its current name to the Mapuche word for the flower Libertia chilensis.[2]
The Calle-Calle is among the few rivers in Chile that are considered navigable. The Calle-Calle and bridges crosses the river in the city of Valdivia.
The river is crossed by Calle-Calle Bridge in downtown Valdivia and by a few kilometers upstream.
