Located in the south of Chile, Pucón offers a unique landscape for skiing, riding horses, rafting and canoeing all through the year. It's a rough and appealing location for outdoor sports admired for its view to the Villarrica Volcano and the Palguin Hot Water Thermal Baths.
The race starts with a two lap 1.9 km swimming course in the calm waters of the Villarrica Lake, having the unbelievable Villarrica Volcano as background scenary. Then the athletes ride their bikes through a 90 km path defying the winds of the zone. The last part is a 21 km path that the athletes must run while the fans and spectators welcome them as they arrive at the city.
Professionals compete for $25,000 prize purse plus WC slots
