In the Lake District, 640 Km. south from Santiago, Temuco was the
capital for the Mapuches Indians, who were never actually beaten by the
settlers. They ruled most of the south of Chile and spent their time smoking,
drinking, and playing hockey...yes hockey. They let their women do all
the hard work. That was then, now it is the fastest growing city in Chile
and largely business. As to sight seeing Nielol hill and the National Park
should not be missed. In Temuco you'll find Huasos (cowboys, Chile style)at
work. There is also a large indoor flea market where you can find that
special treasure. Nearby, the Llaima Volcano offers snow skiing.
