Description

Contact and meet with the local partner the day before your ascent for equipment check-up and a brief explanation of the hike. The next day, we will meet at the office at 6.00 am, and together with the guiding team, we will drive 30 minutes from the centre of Pucón to the base of the Villarrica Volcano. From here we will start the hike to the summit of one of the most emblematic active volcanoes in Chile. The first stage will be a traditional hiking ascent, starting at 1,200 metres above sea level. Acclimatize at an easy pace. As you approach the summit glacier, start using crampons and ice axes, with the assistance and explanation from the guides. After five to six hours of climbing, reach 2,847 meters at the summit. Gaze at the middle of the crater and its impressive geological formation. See fumaroles and maybe even some lava. From here also enjoy 360-degree views of surrounding volcanos, lagoons, and forests. Spend approximately half an hour at the summit and then descend in half the time it took to climb up. Combine walking and controlled snow sliding to get down. During your hike have conversations about the native peoples of the Andes, the mountains and their relationship with them, as well as topics in volcanology. Once you've reached the base, your vehicle will be waiting to return you back to the departure office in Pucon.
