From the point of view of a visiting cat, Temuco can be considered slightly expensive. Food and accommodation prices are reasonable but shopping can be costly compared to other Chilean cities.

Visit the local markets for cheaper souvenirs and try street food stalls for affordable meals.

As a cat, I found the streets of this city full of tempting hiding spots and curious smells.

But I was disappointed to find no fishmongers, only human markets and busy vehicles.
