History and geography

[edit | edit source]

A former agriculture focused area outside of Valdivia, it became an industrial and residential space after the opening of the Rio Cruces Bridge in 1987. Since the early 90, with the opening of private condominiums like "Los Notros" (in 1995), "Silos de Torobayo" (2003) and "Altos del Cruces" (2004), a sizable population has established itself in the area.

Geographically speaking, Torobayo can be classified as an island since its surrounded by the Cruces River, the Valdivia River and the Estancilla River.
