Temuco is the most commercial city close to Labranza, and at 20 cents a bus-ride with gorgeous views of farmland along the way, I can’t complain about the 30-minute trip.
Some of the more popular destinations in Temuco include, Jumbo (the Chilean equivalent of Wal-Mart), Sodimac Homecenter (think Home Depot), and a Portal Temuco, a large shopping mall with most everything you need.
While I end up frequenting these large chains about twice a week to run errands, my favorite part of Temuco is la Feria, another open-air market. See for yourself below.
Wooden Crates
(note that they're strapped onto a bike)

Although these carts strike me as quite exotic every time I see them, they can be found all over. Still haven't tasted it yet- waiting for a Chilean friend to teach me how to cook with it.
Fried Merluza
a local classic
Chorrillana
another local favorite- French fries, steak, fried egg, and onions
