Panguipulli

Panguipulli spreads across 3,292 square kilometers at 130 meters elevation, bordered by mountains and situated on the western edge of Panguipulli Lake.

The Capuchin religious order established a mission in 1903, constructing the first schools and the wooden twin-towered church that became central to the community.

The name derives from Mapuche origins, while the city maintains strong connections to its indigenous heritage through local traditions and community practices.

The Hua-Hum international pass connects Panguipulli to Argentina through a ferry service across Pirihueico Lake, providing year-round access between both countries.

The surrounding Seven Lakes region offers thermal springs, skiing facilities at Huilo-Huilo Reserve, and opportunities for rafting and wild boar hunting.
