PUCON

Outdoor enthusiasts can never get bored in Pucón and Villarrica. Rafting, kayaking, river exploring and hiking up the volcano will introduce travelers to the natural wonder of Pucón. Want to have a helicopter flight over the active volcanos? We can also make that happen. Our Chile luxury travel specialists recommend travelers not to miss the hot springs like Panqui and Termas Geométricas or see the volcanos in Villarrica and Huerquehue National Park.

However, it is the Mapuche’s cultural allure that marks Pucón a unique place in Chile. The coexistence of German colonial tradition and the Mapuche people’s strong identity makes Pucon so culturally intriguing. The local architecture mixing various ethical styles reflect exactly this multiculturalism. Travelers can even have dinner in a traditional Mapuche “ruca” (how “house” is called in the Mapuche language) in downtown Currrehue. Those who are curious about the area’s German cultural heritage, on the other hand, can dine in one of Pucón’s traditional German restaurants.

PUERTO VARAS

Known for its beautiful scenery and local gastronomy, Puerto Varas is a treat both for the eyes and appetite. Especially in the mornings, the postcard view of Osorno Volcano from the town of Puerto Varas is almost a surreal experience.

Not a single visit to Puerto Varas is complete without going to Teatro del Lago Frutillar, a unique theater floating right on top of the lake. Puerto Varas is also famous for its German tradition, which is reflected by the town’s typical German architecture, standing so distinctly from the rest of local houses. Thanks to the strong German cultural presence, the locally made beer, meat dishes and “lomito” (sliced pork) in sandwich in Puerto Varas are supreme.

The proximity of volcanoes and lakes make Puerto Varas a perfect setting for kayaking, fishing, climbing and trekking. Our Chile luxury travel specialists recommend travelers to visit the stunning Saltos del Petrohué waterfalls and the emerald-colored Lake Todos Los Santos.
