For trainlovers, a visit to the Museo Nacional Ferroviario Pablo Neruda in Temuco can be worthwhile. The exhibit has steamtrains and wagons. Unfortunatley after the past earthquake, the building where most steamtrains are parked is not accesible because of the poor state of the buidling. However, you can walk around the building and see the trains from the outside.

Entrance is free except for 3 wagons, one of which was used in the past as the presidential wagon by six Chilean presidents. For those three wagons, entrance fee is $1.000 pesos for an adult and $ 300 pesos for a child. In the first wagon, an 8 minute documantary is shown about the museums history. Afterwards, a guide will show you the other wagons and tell you about their history.

Sanctuario El Cañi is a beautiful 1,500 acre nature reserve located just outside of Pucón. While visiting there, you will have a spectacular view of the famous, and endangered tree species, the Araucaria.

The Sanctuary is a groundbreaking conservation project. In 1990, it became the first Chilean forest purchased for conservation by a group of outdoor enthusiast. They named it the Lahuén foundation, and hope to continue to research and defend the forest from logging while promoting ecotourism.

The Cañi feels almost magical as you are hiking through it. You are surrounded by beautiful flora and fauna while Chiles unique birds are echoing all around you. A certain history of the Mapuche tribe still lingers on the ground as well.

Our small town (20,000 inhabitants) is located 800 kilometres south of Santiago in the Chilean Lake District. It is surrounded by national parks, mountains, rivers, and lakes. The highlight is the smoking Villarrica-Volcano which dominates the view.

Its enormous natural potential has made Pucón a centre for adventure tourism and outdoor activities. You can easily spend a week or more doing a different trip each day.

Pucón also offers a wide range of restaurants, pubs, discotheques, handicraft shops, and even a fancy casino. There are three banks in town with an ATM where you can get cash with your VISA or MasterCard. Exchange rates are not the greatest, especially for traveller cheques, so we encourage our future guests to exchange their money in bigger cities like Santiago or Temuco before arriving at Pucón.

During the Chilean holidays in January and February, Pucón is a very popular summer destination. The quiet little town then offers more nightlife opportunities, sports competitions, and concerts while still keeping its rustic charm.
