The Chilean Lake District is stunning. Think glacial lakes, ancient forests of monkey puzzle trees (Araucaria araucana) some over three thousand years old, mountain pastures, snow-capped volcanoes, green green grass, rolling hills…. Sounds idyllic? Well it is and you must go there. It lends itself perfectly to walking, riding.

The region is unofficially Chile’s adventurous sports centre and the towns of Pucon and Villarica are popular with both Chileans and Argentines. You can go white-water rafting (float or serious rapids), climb volcanoes (the Villarica volcano is a strenuous, all day hike or the Osorno volcano with its chair lift up to the top), fish in crystal clear lakes and streams, mountain bike or ride through the forests and after all that activity take a long soak in some of the best hot springs around.
Huife Hotel and Hotsprings is just forty minutes from Pucon, on the banks of the Liucura and just up the road from Huepil-Malal. The small hotel is surrounded by 741 acres of grassland and native forest, where you can also find monkey puzzle trees. The
hot springs are situated deep in the forest and there are three pools to enjoy: lovely, quite lovely and really lovely!
