Port Saavedra: in the Pacific Ocean, going by Nueva Imperial
and Carahue. 30 kilometers to the west of Temuco and beside the
river Imperial is located Nueva Imperial, a city of 12,000 inhabitants,
in which is carried out a handmade fair in the month of February,
where artisans of the whole region expose. Continuing in direction
to the sea, 25 kilometers later on you will arrive to Carahué
(8,000 inhabitants) where you will be able to visit in the square
and its surroundings, 40 ‘locomóviles’ (transportable
vapor motors) that form the Museum of the Age of Vapor. Traveling
other 30 kilometers by the south margin of the river Imperial
you get to Puerto Saavedra, a supply center for the peasants of
the coast that has 14,000 inhabitants. 4 kilometers to the south
you arrive to Boca Budi, a spa very frequented in the outlet of
the river Budi. There are cabins, hotel, hostels and restaurants
with marine delights.
To
the volcano Llaima: Leave Osorno toward the north by
the Pan-American Highway and in Cajón take the route that
goes to the east, heading for Vilcún. There you can visit
the Church ‘San Francisco de Assisi’, built at the
beginning of the XX century by priests Cappuccinos. Starting from
Vilcún, the road is of rubble and it begins to ascend.
15 kilometers after having passed the town of Cherquenco stop
to see a fall of water among the forest, the jump Lan Lan. A kilometer
later on you will arrive to the Sector ‘Los Paraguas’,
an access control to the National Park Conguillío, and
8 kilometers ahead you get to the Refuge, in the center of a forest
of millennial araucarias. From this place you can make a series
of walks by the eternal snow of the volcano Llaima, the most active
in South America, with 24 eruptions in the XX century, 3.100 meters
high and a crater 350 diameter meters. In winter works the ski
