Curacautin

Curacautín sits on the Cautín River in Chile’s Araucanía Region, where forested interior valleys meet the Andean foothills. Founded in 1882 during Chile’s occupation of Araucanía, the town stands in a region that remains central to Mapuche and Pehuenche heritage. Roads from Curacautín lead towards Malalcahuello-Nalcas National Reserve, an area of volcanic terrain and araucaria forests beneath Lonquimay Volcano. The araucaria, locally called pehuén, is closely connected to the food traditions and cultural life of Mapuche-Pehuenche communities.
