The greater part of Carahue is perched
on a cliff overlooking the Imperial river. Carahue is the gateway
town you must pass through to reach Puerto Dominguez, Lago Budi, Boca
Budi, or Puerto Saavedra from Temuco. The city of Carahue, prior to
the Tsunami that hit southern Chile and destroyed much of Chile's
southern Coastline in the 60's (yes, the wave reached this far
inland), was a major center of wheat production. The number of old
steam engines that line the main street and the park are a testimony
to level of production that took place.
