Pucón is a top-tier investment hub. As Chile's adventure capital, it boasts high demand for luxury rentals and premium hospitality. With strong appreciation in the Lake District and year-round tourist inflow, it offers exceptional liquidity and solid long-term returns for savvy investors.

​Villarrica offers a stable tourism market with high ROI. Driven by year-round demand—skiing in winter and lake activities in summer—property appreciation remains strong. It’s a prime hub for hospitality investments and vacation rentals in Southern Chile.

Global markets closed the week with a mix of caution and volatility. While U.S. indexes saw slight Friday gains after a muted CPI report, they ended lower for the week due to AI sector pressure. Asian stocks fell ahead of holidays, while European blue-chips remained mostly mixed.

Yesterday it was confirmed: Telefonica is selling its Chilean subsidiary for 1.215 billion dollars to a European consortium formed by Millicom and Xavier Niel's NJJ Holding. After 35 years, the Spanish company exits Chile to focus on Europe and Brazil. The end of an era.

Global stocks rally as the week begins. Japan Nikkei 225 surged 3.9% to record highs following election results. Europe opens green with DAX +0.8% and FTSE +0.4%. US futures point higher after the Dow topped 50,000. Risk-on sentiment prevails ahead of key US inflation data.

🏈 The Super Bowl is a financial titan, driving $20B+ in consumer spending. With ads at $8M/30s, it yields record ROI via 200M+ viewers. Host cities see $500M+ in impact, while the NFL cements its $2B/year media deals. It’s the ultimate global catalyst for retail, betting, and ads.
