Lican Ray

Lican Ray Chile city and travel guide by All Southern Chile

Lican Ray is one of those small towns that has recently started the transition from a seasonal lake resort town to a year around destinations with business open all year. Lican Ray is situated on the North shore of the Calafquen Lake about 27 Kilometers from Villarrica, and about 35 from Pucón. The beaches are made up of black volcanic sand. Even when the South of Chile starts to get colder, the beach tends to stay warm. Surrounding Lake Calafquen are snow capped Volcanoes; the most spectacular one being the Villarrica Volcano. If you head east along the lake shore road, some 7 km (4.5 miles) from town you will see a lava flow that nearly reached the lake when the Villarrica Volcano erupted in 1971.
	The main street stretches through town and down to playa chica and turns and ends at the gates of a City park that makes up the peninsula between Playa Chica and Playa Grande. Most business and restaurants can be found along the main street and directly in front of both beaches. The town was founded as a trading post, and today there are about 3,000 permanent residents, except for the period from December 15 to February 28, when the population more that doubles with the arrival of summer Chilean vacationers. February is the busiest month of the year. All tourist services are working and many activities are available such as boat rides around the lake, water skiing, and jet ski rental.
