Millakokura is located in the Araucania Region in Puesco, Curarrehue (pronounced koo-ra-ray-way) in southern Chile. Our land is tucked into a deep valley along the rushing Trankura River, between an ancient volcano and towering granite peaks. We have seven acres with mountain views, river access and thriving forests—the perfect place to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with nature and with yourself. Villarrica National Park is right next door with active volcanoes, pristine lakes, hot springs, wild rivers, millennial forests and rich culture, attracting visitors from around Chile and all over the world. We feel grateful every day to call Puesco our home and can’t wait to welcome you to this sacred land.

Millakokura is located 820 km southeast of Santiago, Chile, just 60 km southeast of Southern Chile’s popular adventure tourism hub of Pucon, and 124 km to the northeast of Southern Argentina’s popular adventure tourism hub of San Martin de Los Andes. Cultural centers, unique cuisine, national parks, hot springs, rushing rivers, snow-capped mountains and active volcanoes are right out the back door.

By Plane

Book your flight to Temuco (ZCO), the capital city of the IX Region.  

All international flights will land in Chile’s national capital of Santiago. Once in Santiago you will go through customs and re-check your bags for your domestic flight from Santiago-Temuco, about 1.5 hours in the air.

We offer transfer service to and from the Temuco airport (ZCO).

By Bus

Bus travel is safe and easy in Chile.  From Santiago, you can take a “direct” bus to Curarrarehue with Jetsur.  If you do not plan to make any stops along the way, we recommend traveling by night on a “Cama” or “Semi-cama” bus for maximum comfort and logistical ease. Go to sleep in Santiago and wake up in paradise!  Expect this ride to take about 12 hours. 

From elsewhere in Chile, you will want to take a bus to Pucon and then take a mini-bus to Curarrehue. Pucon-Curarrehue by mini-bus takes about 50 minutes. If coming from the South, we are 358 km (about 6 hours) to the northeast of Puerto Montt, Chile.

We can arrange a pick up in Curarrehue.

If traveling from Argentina, you can take any bus destined for Pucon or Villarica and hop off in Puesco.  Just be sure to tell the people at the ticket counter as well as the bus driver that you will be getting off in “Puesco, Donde Quintun”.

By Car

From Pucon, Chile: Follow Camino Internacional (Ruta 199) east toward Argentina. We are 60 kilometers from the center of Pucón.

From Argentina: We are 317 km (4.5 hours) from San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina.  We are 124 km (2 hours 25 mins) from San Martin de Los Andes, Argentina.

You’ll get a different answer depending on who you ask, but we consider Puesco and the entire Araucania region to be outside of the geographical limits of Patagonia. However, this doesn’t mean that Puesco lacks stunning scenery or opportunities for adventure. Just like Patagonia, Puesco is home to snow capped volcanoes, towering mountain peaks, pristine lakes, rushing rivers and wild forests. Puesco offers a unique experience for both domestic and international travelers because of its indigenous Mapuche culture and biodiversity of flora and fauna. The climate here is also a bit more friendly and temperate than that of the more extreme southern latitudes. We encourage you to come explore this land for yourself!

Puesco provides a perfect base for four seasons of mountain living and activities. While Millakokura is open year round, please keep in mind that camping is most comfortable between about November 1st and March 31st. The Big House offers indoor sleeping, cooking and gathering spaces ideal for the cooler months. Learn more about our different lodging options here.
