Queule fishing cove
In short
An artisanal fishing cove in the Toltén district, next to the Queule river wetlands. Boat trips run on the river and there is a local fair.
Queule is an artisanal fishing cove in the Toltén district, on La Araucanía's coast, next to the Queule river wetlands. Its union brings together 77 fishermen, fisherwomen and divers (source: INDESPA, May 2024).
Things to do
- River trips: in 2024 the union added a 30-passenger boat, with two circuits of 40 minutes to an hour: one through the wetland and one to a sea lion colony (source: INDESPA, May 2024).
- Eat the day's fish and seafood at the cove.
Where it is and getting there
Queule cove is in the Toltén district, at the southern end of La Araucanía's coast, next to the Queule river wetlands. It lies about 30 km south of Nueva Toltén via routes S-60 and S-790, and Nueva Toltén is about 97 km from Temuco (source: OpenStreetMap, route calculated on October 15, 2026).

Before you go
Ask at the cove whether boat trips are running and when: they depend on the season and the weather.
