Temuco is the fourth largest city in Chile. And became that way in a hurry, the last 30 years. Therefore it is a chaotic city. I arrived in pouring rain and terrible traffic. Took me 30 minutes to enter the city and find the hotel. But Diego de Almagro is an island of niceties in a city full of traffic, horns and completely overwhelmed by trucks, taxis and buses.
The hotel is located in the middle of the town. When you enter, you are in a clean and peaceful environment. The noise is dampen, and the receptionists are pleasant and ready to help. My vehicle was parked in an underground lot. Elevators took me back to reception and I was in my room in 5 minutes, a very pleasant change.
