Compare 5 airports near Valdivia
For the majority of travelers, Pichoy Airport (ZAL) is the only practical choice physically located within the same city of Valdivia, providing the most convenient access for those prioritizing efficiency. It exclusively handles domestic flights. All other airports serve different cities and require significant ground travel. Canal Bajo Airport (ZOS) is located in the neighboring city of Osorno and acts as a common alternative when Pichoy faces closure; it is well-suited for travelers willing to endure a 1.5-hour transfer. La Araucania International Airport (ZCO) in Temuco provides more frequent flight options from larger hubs, making it a budget-conscious choice despite the 2-hour road journey. El Tepual Airport (PMC) in Puerto Montt is the largest gateway in the region with seasonal international services; it is ideal for those planning to explore the Lakes District before reaching Valdivia. Finally, Chapelco Airport (CPC) serves San Martín de los Andes, Argentina, and should only be considered for complex trans-Andean itineraries. For the best experience, we recommend booking private transfers in advance, as public transport options to Valdivia from the non-local airports are limited and often require multiple connections.

We expected not very much from the general description of this hotel, but the reality exceeded our expectations quite a lot. First, it's a walkable distance from the city center (around 15 minutes by foot) and it is very good located with the perfect view on the sunset and its own access to the river. The rooms are simple but very spacious, the reception staff is helpful and efficient. Really a good choice to stay in Valdivia, even if you plan most of your activities in the center of the city.FromUS$113
