Pucón aerial view

Pucón, Chile

Pucón sits on the eastern shore of Lake Villarrica beneath the smoking cone of the Villarrica volcano, at the heart of Chile's Araucanía lake district. Hot springs hidden in native forest, the araucaria trails of Huerquehue National Park, white-water rivers and black-sand beaches make it the south's great outdoor resort, with a handful of distinguished hotels on the lake and along the Liucura valley.
