Temuco trip planner

Temuco developed into a major Chilean city because of a forestry and livestock boom the region experienced during the early decades of the 20th century. Today, most visitors vacation in Temuco for a chance to get closer to the native Mapuche culture and discover the legacy of Nobel laureates Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda, who often referred to this area as the "Wild West." Sightseeing in Temuco leads tourists through leafy neighborhoods with a strong sense of community, as well as to more modern districts packed with glitzy casinos, chic restaurants, and popular shopping centers.
