You wouldn't really find yourself in Pucón unless you had a love of the great outdoors. With its stunning natural setting, on the southeastern shore of Lago Villarrica and in view of the impressive snow-covered Villarrica Volcano, Pucón is one big adventure playground in southern Chile. The lake provides the perfect setting for swimming and watersports, with its attractive volcanic black sand beach, and further afield there are infinite possibilities for walking to say nothing of excellent facilities for horse riding, whitewater rafting, parapenting and skiing. Back in town you can relax in one of the many cosy cafés along the main road, smell the wood fires coming from chimneys and sample some of the delicious local food on offer...after all, you'll certainly deserve it after all the day's activities.
