East towards Temuco
The town is so small that hitching out is not a problem. Not many cars pass by but people here are very generous. One of the first five cars to pass you will likely stop.
Hitching In
The most common way is coming from the city of Temuco located some 80 kilometers to the east.
Places to Avoid
Accommodation and Sleep
There is luscious countryside all around and beaches. Choose your own landscape for camping.
Other Useful Info
A plentiful fish dish with a large heaping of fries will cost around 6 USD. If you have the dough it's well worth what you pay. Fried merluza comes highly recommended.
