Angol, Provincial capital in Araucanía Region, Chile
Angol lies at the base of the Nahuelbuta Range beside the Vergara River, creating a natural corridor between mountains and water at 65 meters elevation.
The city underwent multiple foundations, starting in 1553 as Confines fort, until its final establishment on December 6, 1862, by Cornelio Saavedra Rodríguez.
The population combines Mapuche indigenous traditions with Spanish colonial influences, reflected in local music performances, art exhibitions, and seasonal festivities.
Regular bus services connect Angol to major cities in the Araucanía Region, while the municipal area provides accommodations and dining options for visitors.
The surrounding forests and proximity to Nahuelbuta National Park position Angol as a central point for nature exploration and outdoor activities.
