Chile's Chilean Lake District
Pucon
During the early 1900’s, the tiny village of Pucon was essentially a lumber town, however, when the first hotel began construction in 1923, this charming town sealed its fate as one of the premier destinations in Chile. Today, while Pucon draws adventure enthusiasts from around the globe, intricate vestiges of its logging heritage may be seen throughout its architecture.
Still, Pucon reigns as the adventure capital of Chile, and visitors travel from far and wide to partake in the many outdoor pursuits for which it is known. Ascend the Volcan Villarrica to gain an enlightening perspective into this fuming crater, or venture to the Trancura River for a spectacular day of fishing enveloped by the natural beauty of the Lake District. Raft the roaring rivers, or ski a smoking volcano. The possibilities within this charming village are truly endless.
