Volcán Imperial hosts weddings, conferences, training days, conventions, company celebrations and birthdays for up to 300 guests at dinner or 400 in a theater layout. The event center sits at Juvencio Valle 1055 in Nueva Imperial, in Chile's La Araucanía region, about 30 minutes from Temuco, and combines a modern hall with a restored heritage house and gardens.
Seminars and company events
Companies use the venue for conferences, training sessions, conventions and staff celebrations. The Salón Principal, 632 m², seats up to 400 in a theater layout and has a stage with a podium. Breaks and networking move to the Terraza Techada, a 111 m² covered terrace with daylight and a view of the gardens, while the gardens themselves serve for breaks, group photos and team activities. The Salón Imperial, in the restored house, takes up to 50 in a theater layout or 20 in a classroom layout, a size that suits a board meeting or a workshop. High-definition projection, high-power sound, stage lighting and air-conditioning for full-day sessions come with the rental, along with an executive coffee break service.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings can hold the ceremony and the party on the same site: the gardens and the covered terrace host the ceremony, and the reception moves to the Salón Principal. The in-house team handles event coordination, lighting and sound, and an optional shuttle van can bring guests to and from the venue. A small boutique hotel on site offers a bridal suite with two double rooms, private bathrooms, breakfast served in the room and a hair and makeup room. The venue is taking bookings for 2027.
Rooms and capacities
The Salón Principal measures 632 m² under a triple-height wooden ceiling shaped like a volcano, with an imported porcelain floor, a stage, professional lighting, HD projection and a staffed bar: 300 guests at dinner or 400 in a theater layout. The Terraza Techada, 111 m² and air-conditioned, takes 60 at dinner or 75 in a theater layout and has a 60-inch LED screen and a bar. The Salón Imperial, inside the heritage house, seats 30 for lunch, 50 in a theater layout or 20 in a classroom layout, with radiator heating, a fireplace, a cloakroom, a 60-inch screen and a bar. The Jardín Exterior, a 91 m² lawn under large trees, takes 80 seated or 100 for a standing cocktail. The Quincho y Fogón, a glass-enclosed grill room with a round fire pit, seats 12. Over 150 parking spaces sit on a 1,620 m² area that can also take a marquee for very large events.

History and setting
The project began with the restoration of one of the town's historic houses, now the Salón Imperial. It is run by a group of family businesses that invest in the commune.
