Climb to the crater of one of the most active volcanoes in South America, the Villarrica Volcano (2860m), with this 1-day trekking trip starting from Pucón, in southern Chile. Join us for one of the best experiences you can enjoy in this region!
You will discover amazing landscapes and mountain views on your way to the top of this stunning volcano in the Andes. From the Villarrica summit, it is possible to observe the amazing view of an open crater with a pool of boiling lava inside.
Villarrica is a great summit for beginners in a good physical condition, and it does not require participants to have previous mountaineering experience. We will meet at our agency in Pucón, and from there head to the Volcano base.
We will meet at our agency in Pucón early in the morning, at 06:30. We will give you a backpack with the certified technical equipment necessary to perform the activity (shoes, crampons, helmet, 2 pairs of gloves, gas filter mask, ice ax, jacket and windbreaker pants).
At 06:45 am we will head towards the Villarrica volcano base and we will start trekking at 07:30 hrs. We will reach the summit at about 14:00 h. From the top you will get an amazing panoramic view of all the other volcanoes of the region.
Then we will begin the descent, sliding on the snow, like on natural tobogans, enjoying a spectacular view towards the volcanoes and lakes of this region. At about 17:00 h we will be back in our office in Pucón.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
