This is an authentic place in the heart of Temuco with a local atmosphere. Sure many shops are for tourists, but many others, especially the food Shops. are very authentic. It's a "must see" when you are in Temuco.
There are some nice restaurants and butchers. You can find nice meat for an Asado. I don't care much about souvenir area. If you are looking for a sandwich look for somewhere just outside the Mercado as price for these items are cheaper. I tried Rapa Nui which is just around the corner.
El mercado es un excelente lugar para apreciar las artesanias del pueblo mapuche y comprar chiches si quieres llevar para regalar, el dia que pase por ahi justo estaban tocando canciones mapuches con los instrumentos tipicos, ademas puedes pasar a almorzar a los restoranes que hay dentro o comprar carne de la zona. Lo que no me gustó es que dentro del lugar los precios son un poco mas altos, lo que se da ya que esta lleno de turistas.
Recuerdo que aquí tuve la suerte de servirme un buen plato de sopa combinado con un pernil con papas, además de ser muy rico pude recorrer y encontrarme con una gran cantidad de artesania, bellos llaveros que lo lleve a mi hogar.
El mercado, del cual ya le queda poco, es un conjunto de artesanía de todas partes de Chile, lanas, venta de productos cárnicos y varios restaurantes. Hay uno en especial de 2 pisos en una esquina que es muy bueno!Pintoresco y entretenido para comprar
the municipal market of Temuco is one of the best Market in Chile and Sudamerica.Is a place clean, modern and plenty of craft and elements of the traditional mapuche culture like musical instruments: the Kultrum (the ceremonial drum) and the trutruka (a wind instrument like flute or trompet), textiles like "mantas", rugs, blankets and bags, with the characteristics abstract and ornamental desings, and the silver mapuche jewelry.You can buy some souvenirs, like the unforgettable "indio pícaro", a wooden statuette with a "big" smile and a surprise.You can taste the traditional Mapuche and chilean cuisine in one of the small restaurants located inside the market, with the local spice called Merken.
Interesting marketplace. I started feeling like I was on The Amazing Race, as the stalls all started to look the same. I found several merchants willing to take American Dollars which was convenient. There are a dozen or so restaurants inside the building.
The Mercados in Chile are a bit different from the European mercados. Here you can find good and quite big restaurants in the mercados.We had lunch in O'Gresillon (if I remember the name correctly). The place was packed with locals and no wonder, the food was simple but tasty. Sopaipillas with pebre were a bit better in Mastique, another restaurant in the mercado, but longinaza and cordero very good. Try also the red house wine!
Típico de Temuco, lugar para encontrar artesanías típicas de lana, madera y joyería mapuche.Restaurantes y comidas chilenas y mapuches.Digno de ver las personas q' venden sus productos en las afueras del mercado.
Mercado de productos tipicos artesanales y gastronomia tradicional, un lugar muy acogedor, limpio y ordenado.
