Description

The Villarrica Volcano, also known locally as Rucapillan (which means strong spirit), is located in the 9th region of Araucania, between the Villarrica and Pucón villages. It is a really lonely mountain since it is not surrounded by other peaks. Its conical shape covered with an immaculate white snow gives an outstanding beauty to this desolate landscape.

Villarrica is the most active volcano in Chile, registering its last eruption in March 2015. However it is at the same time the most climbed massif in America with more than 14,000 people coming to Chile each season.

This 2-day climbing trip proposes to ascend a total of 1400 meters of altitude and 6 kilometers of route. In any case the ascent implies a simple slope reaching a maximum of 35º of inclination in its most difficult section. The ascent to the summit will take less than 5 hours. From up there we can look inside the volcanic caldera and see the lava boiling. It’ll be a really exciting adventure!

Are you coming? So get in touch with me by filling out the form and sending your request for next season! It’ll be my great pleasure to be your guide!

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard

Our first time with Explore-Share. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Extremely good value, very well organised with attention to detail. We travel widely and this has by far been the best of experiences. Well done to all concerned. We are already looking at booking another trip!
