Pucón
Pucón is a pretty resort town situated on Lake Villarica, set
against the looming backdrop of the live Villarrica Volcano. The
town has an excellent tourist infrastructure and is one Chile's
most popular domestic holiday destinations. Surrounded by one
private and two National Parks, Pucón is the focus of the Lake
Districts' adventure tourism industry and is a growing centre for
outdoor sports including hiking, kayaking, white-water rafting,
windsurfing, horseback riding and mountain biking. More relaxing
outdoor activities in Pucón include fishing, birdwatching soaking
up the sun on the lakeshore or bathing in the nearby hot
springs.
In the winter months, skiing and snowboarding in Pucón are the
major attractions, and the resort is one of the few places in the
world where visitors can ski on a live volcano.
