Villarrica National Park is located in the Andes, in the La Araucanía and Los Ríos regions of Chile, near Pucón.

Other mountains in the park include Quinquilil volcano (2,050 m (6,726 ft)), also known as Colmillo del Diablo, and Cerro Las Peinetas, which lies on the border between Argentina and Chile.

[1] A portion of the park is included in the Bosques Templados Lluviosos de los Andes Australes Biosphere Reserve.

The park's forests provide habitat for wildlife such as pumas, chillas, culpeos, pudúes, coypus, Harris's hawks, lesser grisons, Molina's hog-nosed skunks, and the rare monitos del monte.

The system consists of 60 hot springs and cold waterfalls that are accessible to visitors on a series of rambling wooden plank boardwalks.
