About Pucón
Pucón
Pucón is a city on the eastern shore of lake Villarrica, located 780 km south from Santiago and 100 km southeast from Temuco. The name Pucón is Mapudungun (the official language of the Mapuche people) for "entrance to the mountains". It is the major adventure tourist attraction within Chile's lake district, and offers endless outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, white water rafting, trout and salmon fishing, water skiing, hot water springs, breathtaking scenery (all year round), as well as skiing and snowboarding (in the winter). For those who wish to enjoy the local nightlife, there are great local restaurants and bars, microbreweries and a Casino for those who are feeling lucky.
