"Hike Villarrica Volcano In Pucón: Book Your Adventure Now!"

Imagine reaching the summit of one of South America`s most active volcanoes . Witnessing the grandeur of nature in its full splendor, up to 2,847 meters above sea level, is an unparalleled experience.

Although the climb is of medium difficulty, most of those accompanying us have no prior experience and do not require it.

The Villarrica or Rukapillán Volcano is one of the most imposing in the region and its name comes from the Mapuche language and means House of the Devil.

The view from its summit is impressive as you can see the Villarrica, Calafquén and Caburgua lakes and other volcanoes such as the Lanín, Lonquimay, and Llaima volcanoes.

Safety is also a very important issue for us, which is why this great excursion is only done by expert guides and with full equipment.

In total the experience lasts approximately 9 hours since the ascent to the summit is very gentle and is not an activity for experts but for visitors who have the minimum physical capabilities and want to experience having visited the summit of one of the most important active volcanoes in the world.

Without a doubt, one of the most rewarding and exciting experiences you will ever have in your life.

Come with us to enjoy this unforgettable view!
