South America Cruise series # 31
In the language of the original natives of South America, called: Mapudungun, "hue" means place, and "Petro" flies. So "Petrohue" means "the place of flies, according to our guide, Roberto.

Roberto was very knowledgeable and explained very well the geography, language, and culture of the area.
