Οι καλύτερες ποδηλατικές διαδρομές στην Αραουκανία

Through a large lava field

Nice little market where you can buy local goods

Temuco is the capital of the Araucanía region. It is a city that does not have a lot of charm because it is mainly made up of recent architecture. It nevertheless has an old town center and a very interesting railway museum where various trains used in Chile in the past are exhibited. The itinerary for this 11-day journey ends at the Temuco bus station.

From this viewpoint you have a very beautiful view, both of the Araucarias forests and of the Laimar volcano.

This fairly basic campsite located very close to Curacautin beach and the lake is called Los Ñirres. If all pitches are taken, there is another nearby campsite called El Esterro. the latter is at the edge of the gravel road before the descent to the lake and the beach. The beauty of the landscape goes hand in hand with the harshness of the place, so don't expect a 3-star campsite. Do you really need 3 stars when there are 5 billion in the sky to watch tonight?

Halfway between the Conguillio National Park and the Araucarias Biosphere Natural Reserve, here is the path that leads to the splendid Truful Truful waterfall.

Like many other small Chilean towns, Mélipeuco has beautiful drawings on the walls and a central square where parties usually take place. The last time I was there, there was a concert by local musicians. Maybe you'll get that chance?

Be careful in the afternoon because the sun is straight ahead.
