Lakes District

Lakes District

In the south of Chile the Lakes District is characterized by having a temperate climate in the summer, and a landscape of rolling hills, a great number of rivers, volcanoes, lagoons, and of course, lakes.  

In Pucón, located on one side of the lake Villarrica, and among the surrounding areas, there is rafting on the Trancura river hot springs, climbing up to the crater of the Villarrica volcano, fishing in the rivers, hiking through national parks (Huerquehue and Villarrica), and international sport competitions.   

To the south there are more lakes: Calafquen, Panguipulli, Riñihue, Pirihueico, Ranco, Puyehue. This last one shares its name with a national park which is home to flora and fauna typical to a vegetative zone characteristic of the south of Chile:  the Valdiviano forest. Further south on the banks of Llanquihue lake, the towns of Frutillar and Puerto Varas, are the center of tourist activity in the tenth region.  

From there, it's possible to get to places such as the national park Vicente Perez Rosales, see the Saltos (Falls) del Petrohue, and visit the perfectly cone-shaped Osorno Volcano, or to the capricious summit of Puntiagudo Volcano. Also worth mentioning is the possibility of crossing the Andean lakes Todos los Santos (in Chile), Frias and Nahuelhuapi (in San Carlos of Bariloche, Argentina) in catamaran.
