Contulmo

Modest Chilean town on the shore of Lake Lanalhue, at the foot of the Nahuelbuta mountain range, Contulmo is shaped by a German settler heritage dating to 1884 — visible today in its architecture, food, and local celebrations. Its Mapudungun name means "place of transit," and the town sits in Arauco Province in southern Chile's Biobío Region.
