A Chilean Lake District resort embraced by Villarrica Volcano and azure lakes—adventure in summer, skiing in winter.

📍 Destination Overview

Pucón is a lakeside town in Chile's southern Lake District, set between the perfectly conical Villarrica volcano, blue water and many hot springs. The active volcano can be climbed with a guide to glimpse the crater's glow. Summers bring boating, rafting and hiking; winters offer skiing and hot springs. It is the region's most vibrant outdoor adventure haven, fresh all year round.
