sightseeing is hardly complete without a visit
to Lake Villarrica. Located about seven hundred kilometers
south of Santiago, in the Lake District of Chile, Lake
Villarrica is a sure stop for those visiting Pucon.
The city of Pucon is situated on the eastern coast of
Lake Villarrica and is a thriving tourist destination
and a favorite ski resort.
The Lake District of Chile is one
of the most beautiful parts of Chile. As is suggestive
of the name, it abounds in a number of lakes that are
fringed by snowcapped mountains. At Lake Villarrica,
you will be provided with the opportunity to engage
in a number of water sport activities that include sailing,
kayaking, sport angling and water skiing. These sports
are more popular in summer as the water of the lake
remains warm during that time. During winters, the average
temperature of the water of Lake Villarrica
drops down to 10 degree Celsius. Apart from the Villarrica
Lake, the other major attractions of the place include
Carburga, Calafquen Lakes, National Reserve
Villarrica and the National Park Heurquehue.
The Villarrica Volcano located to the south of the lake
feature among the ten most active volcanoes in the world.
World Travel 4 Indians is an international travel site

Villarrica and other places of interest in
