Discover the history of Pucón.
Pucón, located in southern Chile, is a very well-known tourist city for its natural beauty and adventure activities. Its history dates back to the Spanish colonization, when it was founded in 1883 during the settlers' occupation of the region.
Initially, Pucón was a small farming village, but over time it became an important tourist center due to its proximity to Villarrica National Park and the famous active volcano Villarrica. The presence of this volcano brought even more visibility to the city, attracting tourists seeking thrills.
Pucón is also known for its beautiful beaches on Lake Villarrica, perfect for water activities, and for its nearby ski resorts that attract visitors during the winter. The city maintains strong roots in Mapuche culture, the indigenous people native to the region, which can be seen in its traditional festivals and local crafts.
Today, Pucón is a consolidated tourist destination, offering a wide infrastructure to welcome visitors from around the world who seek adventure, contact with nature, and unique experiences in one of the most stunning locations in Chile.
