Search hotels in Temuco

Temuco is the cultural centre of the Mapuche community, indigenous people who have been oppressed but continue to fight for their rights. It is worth visiting museums, but also cultural centres and local people.

Temuco is a big city, and is not a particularly beautiful one. It does have a lovely central square, but considering the great beauty of other locations, Temuco is not very attractive for tourism. We wanted to go in pat because it is a city with large numbers of indigenous Mapuche’s and is well known for their gorgeous weaving and other artisan goods. Unfortunately, the market was apparently destroyed and has not been rebuilt, so there is no place to go to peruse the artesanias. We ate a a hotel a couple of blocks from the hotel we stayed in, and the food was very good. We definitely will not return to Temuco. It was easy to walk around, but it was not particularly pleasant.
