English World’s
center in Temuco City is located 677km
(420 miles) south of Santiago; 112km (69 miles)
north-west of Pucón. Temuco is probably
one of the world’s best towns to visit:
Temuco offers enough attractions to warrant a
half day getting to know Chile's third-largest
city.
Historically known as La Frontera (The Frontier),
this is where the Mapuche
Indians kept The Spanish Conquistadors at
bay for 300 years until Chile's Frontier Army
founded a fort on the shore of the River Cautín
in 1881. The city grew like a boomtown as Spanish,
German, French, Swiss, and English immigrants
poured into the region. Temuco is still one the
country's fastest-growing cities, as it is evident
by the thundering buses, bustling downtown crowds
and modern shopping centers which rub shoulders
with traditional street markets. Despite such
rapid developments, Temuco retains much of its
old charm as a historic town.
Temuco is within easy reach of several important
and spectacular National Parks, such as Conguillío,
Villarrica, and Huerquehue. It is also the gateway
to the popular holiday resort of Pucón
with its towering snow capped volcano, mountains,
lakes, fishing, hot volcanic springs and skiing
centers.
