Pucon is Poised between Lago Villarica and the smoking Villarrica volcano of the same name, offering something for every interest with excellent Pucon Hotels. Two national parks and one private reserve protect ancient forest habitat, a variety of rivers more than satisfies fishermen and whitewater boaters, skiing and mountaineering are possible on the slopes of Villarica Volcano, and the black sand beach soaks up the sun all day. At night, you can take your pick of nearby hot springs.
