Illustrative comparison of three rental models in Villarrica, Pucón, and Licán Ray, from an August 2026 study (80 year-round listings, 56 short-season). Not a promise of results for your property.
Use the interactive comparator above for scenarios (year-round, multi-month season, tourism with occupancy). Study medians: ~535,000 CLP/month (year-round) and ~6.6M CLP monthly equivalent (tourism, occupied month).
Honest read
- Tourism: can beat gross with strong occupancy; income clusters in weeks; cleaning/platform costs; empty home much of the year.
- Year-round: lower monthly income but stable; neighbors; less wear; clear residential lease.
- Season ≥3 months: useful bridge; better than nightly rotation in homes that could house locals.
