Getting there

Public Bus

From the center of Pucón, head to the main bus terminal located at Calle Palguín 585. Look for the bus company 'Buses JAC' or 'Buses Turbus' that operates routes to Parque Nacional Huerquehue.

Shared Taxi (Colectivo)

If you prefer a quicker route, you can take a 'colectivo' (shared taxi) from the main square in Pucón (Plaza de Armas). Look for taxis that have 'Huerquehue' written on them.
