Volcan Villarica, Pucon and Lone Tree
Photo of the Week - 05/13/2007

Volcan Villarica, Pucon

Seen over the rooftops of Pucón, Villarica volcano is an ever present threat, but its beauty and the charm of the area attract visitors throughout the year. People come to hike, climb, windsurf, kayak and white-water raft, or ride mountain bikes in the area surrounding Lake Villarica and congregate in Pucón for lodging and entertainment.

A long-time traditional summer resort area, Pucón and the lake district is a favorite with Chileans and international visitors.

Enjoy these resources for Osorno and Pucón.
