Stop off point on the way from Santiago to Temuco

If you are travelling from Santiago and you want a stop off point on the way to Temuco, Saltos de Laja (Laja falls in English) is a good option. It saves taking a half hour trip into Concepción if you want to stop somewhere of note.

You can pull in there and get a local meal for a reasonable price. Entry to the falls was free as of February 2014.

It's actually nearly nine hours solid driving from Santiago, so you may wish to stop the night there. There are cabins, but I don't know how they rate:
