LA ARAUCANÍA
The Andes dominate the Araucanía
region, which has a rich geography of ancient
volcanoes, lush forests and crystal clear lakes.
The area is a very popular tourist
destination but also remains an active agricultural
zone.
Well known for its apples and
pears, the Araucanía region has recently
begun exporting quality cherries and berries.
