Description
Welcome! Come and experience the adventure and outdoor lifestyle of Pucon. Pucon is a beautiful little town situated between the lake and the volcano of Villarrica. The nightlife is vibrant, and the surrounding area offers a splendor of exciting outdoor activities. We have a good knowledge of the area and am happy to give you any advice you need to explore.
The hostel is a quiet, small hostel. It's placed in the most exclusive part of town, this is the belly button of the city 2 minutes from the beach on the lake, the bay, and close to restaurants, casino, and squares everybody wants to be in this part of the town. We don't demand an unreasonable amount of work, far from it. The work outside is mainly in the garden, or occasionally painting. During the high season, we need help turning the rooms, cleaning, and taking reservations. The rest of the time is yours.
The room offered is outside of the main house and fits a bunk bed. There is a bathroom also right next door. It's cozy. We offer continental breakfast. Sometimes we can offer full housing, please contact us before applying.
If you have a sleeping bag, great! bring it! If not no sweat, We can kit you out.

What else ...
Pucón is a small town in the middle of the southern lake district in Chile. Extremely popular both with Chileans and foreigners for its nightlife and the beautiful views of volcan Villarrica.
Things to do:
Climbing Volcan Villarrica. Snowcapped Villarrica looms majestically over Pucón at 2,840 meters (9318 feet) above sea level
Skiing and snowboarding. The skiing area on Villarrica is open May until the beginning of October.
Horse back riding. This is a popular way to see the Mapuche settlements like e.g. Quelhue in the area.
Hike past the waterfalls and gurgling brooks in the Huerquehue National Park. Doing this will enable you to get to know the strange Araucaria (monkey puzzle) tree, as well as other native vegetation such as Coigües and Lingues.
Visit the Volcanic Caves at Villarrica Volcan.
