Temuco Things to See and Do
It’s pleasant to stroll through Temuco’s Plazas Pinto and Teodoro Schmidt and along the Avenida Balcemeda to see their various monuments. Another place worthy of a walk is Avenida Alemania, lined with mansions built by the German immigrants. A place to escape to untouched nature is Cerro Ñielol, where you can hike on one of several trails.
