&Beyond Vira Vira offers guests the chance to discover the unique beauty of the Pucón Valley in superior comfort and style. The hotel is perfectly located, close to a beautiful national park with natural lagoons, wild forest trails, winding rivers and stunning views of the Villarrica Volcano.

Created as a traditional hacienda, the rooms and suites are traditionally decorated with Chilean rugs and furnishings creating a warm and cosy atmosphere. Wooden-clad rooms and suites create the perfect accompaniment to the stunning natural surroundings on the banks of the Liucura River. We recommend the senior suites which have outdoor hot tubs, perfect for relaxing in with a glass of Chilean wine after a day of discovery and adventure.

Activities at Vira Vira are endless in either summer or winter; adventurers will relish the white-water rafting and kayaking down the rapids, while the more laid back can enjoy peaceful fly-fishing or drifting gently down the river in a little boat. There are also fantastic walking trails through the surrounding national parks with remarkable lookout points over. More recently the hotel has also added Heli Tours to its excursion offering, so guests can now be flown over the crater of the smoking volcano. In the winter months the area boasts skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and winter horse riding among its activities, all set out in front of a backdrop of Chile's snow-capped volcanoes for an utterly magical scene.
