Start your visit at the Feria Libre, a sprawling market where you can taste local specialties like merkén spice and fresh mote con huesillo. The Museo Regional de la Araucanía provides essential context on Mapuche history, while a short drive leads to the dramatic rock formations of the Conguillío National Park, home to ancient araucaria forests and the smoking Llaima volcano.
