About Pucón Airport
Pucón Airport is a small public aerodrome serving Pucón, a lakeside town in the Araucanía Region of southern Chile. It functions as a local air gateway to the Chilean Lake District, an area known for lakes, volcanoes, hot springs and outdoor activities. The airport is located about 5 km east of central Pucón along Route CH-199, close to the shores of Villarrica Lake. Villarrica is approximately 30 km away, while Temuco, the regional capital, lies about 105 km to the northwest. The facility has a single asphalt runway of roughly 1,700 metres and a compact passenger terminal. The runway can accommodate aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 737 or Airbus A318, although scheduled commercial service availability has varied. Because the airport is small, onward travel is mostly by road. Taxis, pre-arranged private transfers, rental cars and shuttle or group transport connect the airport with Pucón town, Villarrica and other destinations around the lake and surrounding region.
