Hotels in Araucanía, Chile

Araucanía sits in southern Chile, with a temperate climate that brings warm summers (70-80°F / 21-27°C) perfect for hiking around Volcán Villarrica and swimming in Lake Villarrica, and cold winters (32-45°F / 0-7°C) when you can ski on the volcano's slopes or soak in the region's natural hot springs. This area is famous for its ancient araucaria trees (pehuén) and the Conguillío National Park, where you can spot those twisted giants against snow-capped peaks. In Pucón, the adventure hub, you'll find rafting on the Trancura River in summer and snowshoeing in winter-so pick your season and dive into the outdoor action.
