The 10 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Pucon, Araucania Region

December 24, 2021 Velvet Champine

Deep in the Patagonian Andes, Pucon is a picture perfect town accessed by plane in summer or by a nine-hour drive or train ride from Santiago. A great base for adventure vacations, Pucon is crammed with visitors during summer months December, January and February. Watch molten magma ooze down Mount Villarrica, hop between hot and cold thermal pools at Termas Geometricas or take the reigns of Criollo horses to explore the Andes on horseback. For other expeditions, rent a car or mountain bike.

Campo Antilco

Get to know the northern Patagonian Andes and its people the most natural way: on horseback. Not just following your guide: riding your horse is the aim. Our well trained and sure stepping Criollo horses, together with the professional bilingual guides make it possible. Whether beginner or expert: everyone can experience his own personal freedom on horseback. Come and share the experience of being out in the mountains!

Reviewed By MorganeWi - Ghent, Belgium

I had an amazing experience with Campo. The horses are great and the half-day ride was just amazing. I wish I had more time to do the entire day and even the 5-day tour. You discover nature in a different way and you learn about the history of the people of Pucon. Great experience and they made sure that everyone had a horse according to their previous experience.

We spent a great afternoon in the Pillar canyon with Miguel and Eduardo from Canyoning Pucón. They were friendly and professional. What's more, we were provided all the gear including gortex shoes.

You can see the red magma (molten rock) at the top of this still active volcano.

Reviewed By bella_australiana - Valparaiso, Chile

An intriguing active volcano begging adventurers to climb it, ski all around it and toboggan your way back to the bottom. A fun day out for sure – just make sure you have quality gear to protect from the elements!

Santuario el Cani

Si Es Posible, Incluyan Este Santuario De La Naturaleza, Es Un Lugar Soñado, Ideal Para La Gente Que Gusta Del Montañismo

Reviewed By minifenn - Worthing, United Kingdom

One of my favourite hikes I’ve done in South America. Very tough beginning, and you need to find an extra burst of energy to make it up to the mirador at the end, but it is a really beautiful trek. Bring insect repellent for the horse flies! The info booklet you get when you enter is also amazing and I wish every park gave one of the same quality.
