Tacla, Chile is located southeast of Santiago, the country’s capital. The area is known for its all year round sun - though don’t forget, the city’s in the southern hemisphere, therefore its summers are December to February. The town is home to an impressive flea market, called Mercado Central Municipal de Talca. It’s also famous for its cathedral, Catedral de Talca. If neither of those two are your kind of thing, pack up a picnic and enjoy the main park - Jardin Botanica de la Universidad de Talca, or visit the Lago Colbun. Check out some of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in town here:
