Off
the beaten tourist paths, but only three hours away from the capital Santiago,
the region of Maule is awaiting with incomparable natural beauty. In Talca -the
capital of the region- you will find busy shopping streets, a beautiful square
in the center and a lot of old colonial buildings.
The area which surrounds Talca is home to the Huasos, the Chilean
cowboys. And there are a lot of sleepy haciendas from colonial times...
Due
to the Mediterranean climate, long and warm summers from November to April are
virtually guaranteed. There are lots of vineyards to visit; the pacific coast
can be reached in a slow train, virgin forests and the majestic mountains of the
Andes... all this combines to create the recreational oasis of this region.
Being the transitional zone between desert and rainforest the region has an
extremely varyied flora and fauna: rainforest, enormous sandhills, cactus,
elegant black-necked swans and cute penguins, and finally the proud king of the
Andes: the condor. Different day excursions, starting from the hotel "Casa
Chueca", allow us to explore this unknown region.
