PUCON:
located 24 kilometers to the west of Villarrica on the oriental
end of the lake of the same name.
Born
from military fortification installed in 1883 and it begins to
grow slowly after 1904 when a German colony settles next to the
river Trancura.
It
was center of the fishing sport being invented here the fishing
boat used to go downstrean; from 1930 the hotel Gudenschwager
already housed fishermen.
The
opening of the Gran Hotel Pucon in 1934 that was built by Ferrocarriles
del Estado, gave a great impulse to the city growth. The later
construction of the coastal highway determined the current development
of Pucón, favoring the construction of hotels, condominiums,
residential, campings, along the 24 kms of the south riverside
that unite it to Villarrica.
