Hostal & Loft El Laurel Temuco

Temuco is a city and commune, capital of the Cautín Province and of the Araucanía Region in southern Chile. The city is located 670 kilometres south of Santiago. The city grew out from a fort of the same name established in 1881 during Chile's invasion of Araucanía. Temuco lies in the middle of the historic Araucanía, a traditional land of the indigenous Mapuche.

As you explore this beautiful city, you will be struck by the incredible architecture that blends traditional and modern styles. The most iconic building is the Teatro Municipal, which has been a fixture in the city since 1942. The building is a must-visit for anyone interested in the arts, with regular performances and exhibitions.

For nature lovers, Temuco is surrounded by some of the most beautiful national parks in the world. The Huerquehue National Park is a particular highlight, with its crystal clear lakes and ancient forests. The park is home to a range of wildlife, including the rare pudú deer, which is only found in Chile and Argentina.
