Review of Zenit’s Villarrica Volcano ascent from Pucón, covering fitness, guides, gear, weather, views, snow sliding, price, and practical tips.

“The day before we had a meeting at the Zenit agency to find out more details about what the day would be like, and also to try on the trekking boots. We went up in a small group with 4 guides, all of whom were very friendly and communicative. The climb was tiring, but the stops and the enthusiasm of the guides made all the difference in regaining energy and moving forward. Unfortunately we were unable to reach the edge of the crater, as it is prohibited at the moment (due to the intense activity of the volcano). But it was really good nonetheless! The descent was also a lot…”

Climb Villarrica Volcano from Pucón with guides, gear, park entry, snow slides, and crater views, with practical advice on weather and fitness.

“The tour agency that was on the Viator website does not exist, is out of business. As the hike drew near, we were contacted by Viator to pay (which we did), and texted multiple times to the tour agency (through Viator) with questions, but never heard back. We arrived in town the night before the hike. On the day of the scheduled hike, we went to the designated meeting place—nothing/no one was there. We went to the address of the tour agency—found the building but it was obviously abandoned. Viator responded promptly to my text, said they would investigate. Got back to me within a day, and refunded me within…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $195

Hike through araucaria forest to Villarrica Volcano views, then soak in 20 hot pools at Geometric Baths near Pucón.

“The site on a private land is very beautiful. The hike can be a bit sporty with thick snow and an ascending grade from the beginning, but is very worthwhile. Due to the weather the view of the volcanos from the top was obstructed. But the forest with the snow and nature sound was so beautiful that it didn’t matter. On a clearer day with the view the hike must be even more fantastic for sure. Blas, the guide and owner of the agency, is very professional and highly experienced in mountain hiking and trekking. He provided good technical advices and made the hike very pleasant and fun. The geométrical…”

7.Ascent to Villarrica volcano 2,847masl, from Pucón

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 36 reviews · 1 day · from $185

Climb active Villarrica volcano from Pucón with expert guides, snowy sled runs, crater views, gear, transport, and a celebratory drink.

“Une journée inoubliable ! Des guides exceptionnels, chaleureux et bienveillants. L’ascension reste difficile de part le dénivelé. Nous recommandons fortement de prendre le télésiège pour la première partie car il reste encore derrière 4 à 5h d’ascension avec des dénivelés entre 30 et 70%. La vue panoramique sur la Cordillère des Andes (volcans, forêts et lacs) ainsi que la découverte du cratère encore fumant en valent cependant largement l’effort. La descente en luge permet de reprendre des forces tout en s’amusant. Le moment de partage avec les guides a l’issu de l’activité est un vrai plus pour finir cette journée en beauté. Un moment inoubliable que nous recommandons !”
