About this tour

Pucón is a city located in the heart of the Chilean Araucanía region, 107 km from the nearest airport, Temuco. Its name comes from the Mapudungun (local indigenous people) language, which means "Entrance to the Mountain Range.".

 

The city of Villarrica takes its name from being nestled at the foot of the volcano and on the shores of the large lake of the same name.

 

We invite you on this exciting journey through these two charming cities in the heart of the Chilean Araucanía, which will dazzle us with their culture, history, and typical cuisine.

 

We will begin our experience today by leaving our hotel at the agreed time to head to the city of Villarrica, 26 km from Pucón. The first stop will be at the Museum of the Catholic University of Villarrica, where we will see a display of handcrafted and pre-Hispanic instruments, as well as an important historical exhibition of the city.

 

We will continue to its Catholic Cathedral and the beautiful waterfront on the western side of Lake Villarrica. We will also go to a strategic viewpoint to enjoy the panoramic view of the city and Lake Villarrica.

We will also visit the La Poza sector, an old beach where wood was stored to be transported by steamboats to the city of Villarrica in the year 1800.

 

Today, La Poza is a wonderful place with a privileged view of the majestic Villarrica volcano and its surroundings. There, we can enjoy its tranquility, silence, and wonderful natural greenery while learning about some of the bird species in the area.

 

We will continue this visit to the famous Wooden Flower Crafts fair, where we will be able to learn about its unique craftsmanship.
