Pucón, which lies on the Eastern shore of the beautiful Lake Villaricca, is one of Chile’s most popular holiday destinations, and the best places to stay in Pucón, from budget comfort to upmarket luxury, provide easy access to all that the area has to offer.

The city, which was originally founded as a strategic military stronghold in the late ninteenth century, had its first hotel built in 1923. The fashionable Gran Hotel Pucón followed in 1934 and the rest is history, as Pucon became for a time the playground of South America’s wealthy elite.

Nowadays it is one of the top spots globally for adventure tourism. The city boasts the best small resort infrastructure on the continent in terms of accommodation, to suit all tastes and budgets, as well as a great choice of clubs, bars and restaurants. The season is year round. In wintertime it's all about skiing and snowboarding on the slopes of the Villaricca volcano. In summer there is hiking, rafting, zip lining, sky diving, fishing, bird watching… the list is endless. All of these attractions have made Pucón extremely popular, and the town reflects this in its demographic diversity and international feel.

The surrounding landscape is most striking with volcanoes, hot springs, lakes and waterfalls. There are several national parks - El Cani is an eco reserve with many rare species, lagoons and hiking trails and our pick of the best places to stay in Pucon are ideally located for any and all of the above.
