***************************************************

Lago Panguipulli su nombre proviene de "Pangui" (puma), y "Pulli" (cerro), ambas palabras del Mapudungun, que significarían "cerro del Puma". Se ubica en la provincia de Valdivia en la Región de lo Rios. Tiene una extensión de aproximadamente 30 kms de largo con una superficie de 116 km2.

Esta zona cubierta de extensos bosques de Selva Valdiviana rodeada de naturaleza exuberante con bellos paisajes montañosos es parte de una gran cuenca hidrográfica binacional común que se extiende desde Valdivia (Chile) hasta San Martin de los Andes (Argentina) reuniendo 9 lagos: Lácar y Nonthue, en Argentina; Pirehueico, Neltume, Calafquén, Pullinque, Panguipulli y Riñihue en Chile. Por esta razón algunos autores ubican tambien esta área como parte de la Patagonia Chilena o como North Patagonia por estar al norte del Seno de Reloncavi que era el limite tradicional.

Asi el Lago Panguipulli es la puerta de entrada a una zona dotada de multiples atracciones naturales cuyo enorme potencial cambio la tradicional actividad economica de explotación de bosque nativo por el Turismo. Desde aqui se accede a la Reserva Biológica Huilo Huilo, al famoso Cruce de la Selva Patagonica via Lago Pirihueico, al Volcan Mocho-Choschuenco y a diferentes Parques y Reservas Nacionales.

Panguipulli its name comes from "Pangui" (puma), and "Pulli" (hill), both Mapudungun words that mean "hill of the Puma". It is located in Valdivia Province in the Region of Rivers. It has about 30 kms long with an area of 116 km2.

This area covered of vast Valdivian rainforest surrounded by lush nature with beautiful mountain scenery is part of a large common binational watershed that stretches from Valdivia (Chile) to San Martin de los Andes (Argentina) meeting 9 lakes: Lácar and Nonthue in Argentina, Pirehueico Neltume Calafquén Pullinque Panguipulli and Riñihue in Chile. For this reason some authors also placed the area as part of Chilean Patagonia or North Patagonia because of north Reloncavi Sound which was the traditional limit.

So Panguipulli Lake is the gateway to an area which multiple natural attractions whose enormous potential change traditional economic activity of native forest exploitation by tourism. From here you can access Huilo Huilo Biological Reserve, the famous crossing of the Patagonian Jungle via Lake Pirihueico, Volcano Mocho-Choschuenco and different National Parks and Reserves.
