Villarrica, Pucon and Huife Hot Springs
Approx. Time: 8 hoursActivity Level: Easiest
Just past the picturesque town of Freire, follow the Allipen and Tolten rivers toward Villarrica volcano, the always-smoldering, snow-capped Andes peak that dominates the landscape. In the lakeside town of Villarrica, visit a ruca, a traditional thatched-roof Mapuche home, then continue to the other side of the lake and Pucón, a fashionable summer resort boasting a number of outdoor activities including rafting, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, skiing, sailing and swimming. Tour the main avenues of the city, noting the importance of wood, both in the architecture and in the local crafts. The trip continues with a ride through the Liucura River valley to the hot springs of Huife.
