PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Villarrica
01
Use Villarrica historic core as the orientation base, then group Villarrica historic anchor and Villarrica market and food route before crossing to the other side of Villarrica.
02
Give Villarrica waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Villarrica regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Villarrica regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
