If you love mountaineering, then I’ve got the perfect adventure for you. Over four days, I’ll take you to the top of the Puntiagudo Volcano, Chile‘s most iconic peak. Join me!
First, let me share some interesting facts about the Puntiagudo volcano:
Some say it resembles the Matterhorn for its spectacular route to the top.
The volcano is visible from most of the lakes in the region.
It is covered in a thick Valdivian forest, with samples of Patagonian cypress, mañíos, ferns, tepas, ulmos, and others.
It is home to pumas, foxes, hummingbirds, and other species.
The ascent begins at an altitude of 200 meters and it is usually done in the winter when the base is covered in snow.
Now, let’s continue on to our adventure:
Our experience begins at Puerto Varas. We’ll drive towards the Rupanco Lake and hike the path through the northwest side of the volcano. We’ll go through forests, snow ramps and ice with views of the Los Lagos Region. The ascent will take us three days and we’ll follow the same path down on the fourth day.
So, are you ready for 4-spectacular days in Patagonia? Then send your request and I’ll take care of all the details.
If you are looking for more adventures in Chile, follow me up to the Osorno Volcano or the Calbuco Volcano.

A truly incredible experience! This was my first volcano ascent and my guide Miguel was calm and reassuring throughout. The Teski accommodation was comfortable and the dinner was delicious. Everything was very well organized and there was clear and prompt communication at all stages. I can highly recommend explore-share for this adventure.

The trip was absolutely swell! Eduardo was incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable and confident in my first mountaineering trip. He provided me with any additional gear that I didn't have and was great at advising on best practices and checking in on how I felt periodically during our trek. The experience was absolutely incredible and I'm so thankful for Eduardo and his support in helping me gain this incredible achievement. The views and conditions were near perfect and we were able to see endless volcanoes, mountains and other natural wonders in every direction. This was definitely physically demanding but I believe that anyone that is reasonably active and has a positive mindset can summit!
