The commune or municipality of Lautaro is the richest wheat-producing district in Chile, a rolling country of fl earth studded with big oaks, fertile volcanic soil stretching westward between the eroded hillocks where the Indians lived, rising gently into the Andes toward the snowy top of the great Llaima volcano.
Lautaro quickly destroyed the Spanish forts that had been estab­lished in the Araucan forests and in December 1553 wiped out Valdivia and his company of 40 men after luring them on several days’ journey away from their fortress at Concepción by reports of an Indian uprising in the interior.
Lautaro met his death when the Spaniards counterattacked his improvised fort not far from Santiago, where he had stopped his offensive because the Araucan chieftains refused to follow him outside their homeland and the new Indian army that he gathered on his way north apparently hesitated to attack the colonial capital.

 Lautaro Biography / Biography of Lautaro Main Biography
Little is known of the origins of Lautaro beyond the fact that he was born in Araucania in southern Chile and was taken prisoner by the Spaniards when he was 15.
Lautaro (whom the Spaniards called Alonso) carefully observed the Spaniards' tactics and mode of warfare, noting their vulnerable points to such good effect that, when the warlike Araucanians rose against the Spanish in 1553, he was able to escape to the Indians and in spite of his youth win acceptance as their leader.
Lautaro's warriors were prevented by lack of discipline and by exhaustion caused by hunger and typhus from following up their pursuit.

Valdivia was captured and killed by Mapuche (also known as Araucanian) Indians.
However, having (allegedly) previously accepted the rule of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, they were now in revolt against their legitimate sovereign lord.
