The best time to go to Pucón is during the summer months, from December to March, and during the winter ski season, from July to September.The summer period, from December to March, offers the warmest weather, with average temperatures around 20-25°C. This is ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, rafting on the Trancura River, and exploring the national parks. Lake Villarrica and Lake Caburgua are great for swimming and water sports. Families often find this time of year best, as the longer daylight hours and pleasant temperatures allow for a full day of activities, from climbing the Villarrica Volcano to relaxing on the beach.The winter ski season, from July to September, transforms Pucón into a popular destination for snow sports. The Villarrica ski centre offers opportunities for skiing and snowboarding with views of the volcano. While temperatures are cooler, typically around 5-10°C, the landscape is stunning with snow-capped peaks. This period is particularly good for travellers looking for an active holiday centred around winter sports.Should you prefer to avoid the peak season crowds, the shoulder months of April, May, October, and November can also be pleasant.
