Circuits, hotels, excursions and transfers in Pucón.
Pucón is a tourist town in La Araucanía, on the shore of Lake Villarrica and at the foot of the Villarrica volcano, an active volcano of 2,847 m. It is the starting point for excursions to the Villarrica and Huerquehue national parks, to lakes Caburgua and Tinquilco and to several hot springs, with outdoor activities in summer and skiing and thermal waters in winter and spring.
In a programme it works as a stage of lakes and volcanoes in southern Chile, with a flight to Temuco and a transfer by road.
Pucón has a temperate oceanic climate, with cold, rainy winters and a drier, warmer summer. From December to February the lake, river and hiking activities are concentrated; in winter and spring skiing on the volcano and the hot springs are added. The climb of the volcano depends on the weather and on its state, so an alternative programme should be planned.
Pucón is suited to small or medium-sized incentive groups and to short meetings in a nature-retreat format, not to large congresses. The offer rests on hotels and lodgings of moderate scale; for formal meetings, room capacity should be checked with the local supplier.
Credible experiences include a guided climb of the Villarrica volcano, a day in the Huerquehue National Park, a river descent in summer, an afternoon at hot springs such as Palguín, Huife or Río Blanco and a visit to the Ojos del Caburgua. They are proposals of active nature and rest for groups in good physical condition.
It is reached via Temuco airport (ZCO), with flights from Santiago, and from there along route CH-199, about 105 km from Pucón. There are also daily buses, including from Santiago, about 780 km away. Transfers to parks, lakes and hot springs are by road. Air operations should be checked by season.
