Villarrica Volcano Climb
Out before dawn, crampons on at the first snowfield and, up top, a crater breathing sulphur. The hardest day, and the one nobody forgets.

What our travellers say
Two unedited reviews
Excellent team — they took us to the best hot springs in southern Chile. The natural setting is beautiful and, after the soak, there is a café with open fires for a coffee or hot chocolate. Not to be missed.
A really good experience, where I learned a lot about the volcano and the tradition behind it. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy and appreciate nature.
