PUCON: between lakes and volcanoes

Current location:  click here

My Navimag ticket from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales is now confirmed. This means I must keep moving if I want to visit Pucon, Bariloche and Chiloė before departing towards Tierra del Fuego. I will have to skip Santiago this time.

Next stop was then Pucón, a major center of adventure tourism in southern Chile. Surrounded by several lakes and volcanoes, it offers all kinds of summer and many winter activities. Volcano Villarrica (or Rucapillan in Mapuche language) is not just the closest and most visited one, but also one of the most actives. Its last eruption was in 1971.
