Punctuality for Airport Transfers (ZCO/ZPC) and Adventure Tour Departures

Punctuality is vital, especially when coordinating transfers to or from La Araucanía Airport (ZCO) in Temuco (approximately 1.5-2 hours drive to Pucón) or the local Pucón Airport (ZPC) when operational. Timeliness is also absolutely crucial for meeting guides for early morning volcano ascents, rafting trips with fixed departure times, or scheduled visits to hot springs or national parks.

Nearest Airports and Ports for Pucón

Pucón is a popular inland tourist destination in the Araucanía Region. Its primary air access is via Temuco.

• La Araucanía Airport (ZCO), Temuco: This is the main airport serving Pucón and the wider Araucanía Region. It is located near the city of Temuco, approximately 100-110 kilometers (about 62-68 miles) northwest of Pucón. The road journey from ZCO to Pucón typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. ZCO handles domestic flights, primarily from Santiago (SCL).
• Pucón Airport (ZPC): Pucón has its own small airport located very close to the town. However, it has historically had very limited and often seasonal commercial flight services. Its operability for regular commercial flights should always be verified well in advance, as ZCO in Temuco is the more reliable and frequently used option.
• Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL), Santiago: Chile’s main international airport. Most international travelers, and many domestic ones, would fly into SCL and then take a connecting domestic flight to Temuco (ZCO) to reach Pucón. A long-distance bus from Santiago to Pucón (approx. 9-10 hours) is also a common option.
• Ports: Pucón is located on the shores of Villarrica Lake, which allows for recreational boating. However, it is an inland town and does not have maritime ports.
