Caburgua Lake is located 23 km northeast of the city of Pucón, in the Araucanía Region of Chile. Huerquehue National Park lies to the east of the lake. Like Villarrica Lake, it is part of Toltén River basin.

The lake occupies a glacial valley that was blocked by lava flows from the Volcanes de Caburgua.[1]

The lake has recently gained notoriety because people like Sebastián Piñera and President Michelle Bachelet have their holiday residences there.
