IRONMAN 70.3 Pucón 2027Triathlon race-week travel to southern Chile
A lake swim, a volcano on the horizon and a hilly run. Pucón is one of the most scenic 70.3 races there is, and one of the more involved to reach with a bike.
About IRONMAN 70.3 Pucón 2027
IRONMAN 70.3 Pucón takes place on Sunday 10 January 2027, with the date and registration opening published at our last check. It is one of the longest-running 70.3 races in Latin America and a fixture on many South American triathletes’ calendars.
The setting is what athletes remember. Recent editions started with a swim in Lake Villarrica from Playa Grande, followed a bike course through the surrounding countryside, and finished with a multi-lap run that includes climbs up to the Pucón peninsula, with Villarrica volcano in the background. It is beautiful and not easy.
Getting there is the bigger project. From the U.S., Pucón usually means an international flight to Santiago and a domestic connection south, with a bike case along for every leg. Visterra Runs plans that chain, the stay, and the check-in timeline around the race.
