MERCADO DE TEMUCO

The Temuco market, built in 1930, is considered one of the most beautiful in Chile. Unfortunately, after a fire in April 2016, the market was significantly destroyed. 100% of the market premises were destroyed and their tenants, mainly Mapuche, have since been without a source of income. The Mapuche people used to come there to sell their handicrafts (weavings, woven baskets, wooden objects) and agricultural products. Reconstruction work officially began in January 2020, but the market is not expected to reopen until 2024 or even 2025.
