Pucón to Huilo Huilo Nothofagus Hotel near Panguipulli

Blog post for Friday, November 3, 2023

Today after breakfast we walked up to the lookout just above our hotel. It has been a clear day so we had a good view of Volcano Villarrica. Yesterday there was a significant amount of smoke coming out of the top. This morning there was almost no smoke and the snow at the top seemed to have a dusting of ash.

After checking out we drove south to Huilo Hilo Rain Forest Preserve near Volcano Mocho Choshuenco and Panguipulli. Along the drive we had some wonderful volcano and lake views.

After checking in at at Nothofagus Hotel we went for a two mile hike. through the forest to see the nearby waterfall.
