The Seven Lakes

Just south of the more famous Pucon and Lake Villarrica starts the Seven Lakes Region of southern Chile. The Seven Lakes area is a nice alternative to the more expensive and trendier Pucon to the north. Included in this region are the towns of Coñaripe, Pangipulli, Choshuenco, Neltume, and Puerto Fuy. The Seven Lakes are, Panguipulli, Pirihueico, Calafquén, Pullinque, Pellaifa, Neltume, and Riñihue.

There are also some major rivers of note in the area for white water rafting and fly fishing such as the Lua Lua, Reyehuico, Luzan, Fuy, Enco. There are also many hot springs throughout the area that should not be missed.

The town of Panguipulli is the gateway to the Seven Lakes region of Southern Chile. The Chilean Seven Lakes region should not be confused with the Argentinean Seven Lakes region just over the mountains. Panguipulli has all marks of being the next Pucon, but is still holding on to that southern Chile friendly small town atmosphere.
