Pucon
A smoking volcano you can climb in a day and ski down in winter, hot springs steaming right at the edge of a cold lake, and a whitewater and adventure-sports scene that has made this the outdoor capital of Chilean Patagonia's northern edge.
The best time to visit Pucon is Dec–Mar, or Jun–Aug for ski, when typical daytime highs reach about 23°C (74°F). Local time there is 15:43 (UTC-4).
