Villarrica

 
Overview

Villarrica is a city in southern Chile, at the foot of Villarrica Volcano. It is on the shore of the vast Villarrica Lake. The surrounding landscape is characterized by dramatic mountains and hot springs.

Description

Lago Verde, an emerald lagoon, is in nearby Huerquehue National Park. Unlike Pucón, its wild neighbor across windswept Lago Villarrica, Villarrica is a real living and breathing Chilean town. While not as charming, it's more down-to-earth than Pucón, lacks the bedlam associated with package-tour caravans, and has more reasonable prices and a faded-resort glory that attracts travelers of a certain lax disposition.
