recommendable - Trekking to Quetrupillán Volcano, very good.
The guide, Sebastián, knows and showed us the flora and birds of the area.
The views from Quetrupillán are very good, and being between two volcanoes: Villarrica and Lanín even better. In addition to being able to see lakes and the northern volcanoes in the distance: Llaima, Lonquimay and Tolhuaca,
Recommendable.
The organization and transfers were correct and on time.

Excellent day! - 7 hour hike, partly in the undergrowth and mostly in the open on the slope of the volcano. From the volcano's crater, we have a 360-degree view of many other volcanoes. Splendid. The hike in summer is easy and would not need a guide for a seasoned hiker, but Sebastian, our guide, really gave us a lot of information about the flora, fauna, volcanoes and geology. We also talked about Chilean society, the organization of the country, etc. It was very interesting. Sebastian speaks good English. It’s a guide that gives all the basic advice and knows how to set the framework. I highly recommend it. In terms of organization, the equipment was ready on time. The transport to the start of the hike was very comfortable and safe. Excellent day!

Another great experience in Pucón - This was our second trip with Ermitaño Expediciones and we were again very happy. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about the surround volcanoes and the birds and trees. He also made sure that everyone in the group was comfortable. The views from the top were spectacular, we were happy to chose this Volcano because we could have lunch al the top. The sledge was also very fun. Definitely recommended!

Quetrupillan: great day! - We had a great day with our guide Sebastian! He guided us to the top safely and at a good pace. The descent, on foot and by sled, also went great. Beautiful views along the way and at the top, and lots of explanation about the trees, plants and volcanoes. Sebastian can still guide us!

Amazing experience in Pucon - Incredible experience climbing the Quetrupillán Volcano. Very well organized by Ermitano Expedições, with fantastic guides such as Sebastián and Barbara, who, in addition to being friendly, are knowledgeable about the place. The tour requires good physical preparation and effort, but is fully rewarded by the beautiful view from the top of the Quetrupillán Volcano, where other volcanoes in the region can be seen in an incredible way. The day we went, the field of vision was so clear that in addition to seeing the nearby volcanoes such as Villarica and Llaima, we were able to see the Osorno Volcano and even Tronador in the distance. And, in the end, a super fun “ass ski”. I recommend the tour for anyone who wants to have an incredible adventure.

Phenomenal - Incredible experience, the guides were excellent and the materials for the climb that were made available by the agency were in good condition.
Even though the agency does not establish a minimum age for this activity, I do not think it is ideal for children under 12, due to the difficulty and exhaustion of the trail and the consequent risk.

Fantastic! - This excursion was our highlight in Pucón, especially the part sliding down the vulcano! Our three guides, Edgard, Joaquín and Diego, were excellent. They were very attentive and helpful and made the trip very amusing. Definitely worth the money and I highly recommend Ermitaño Expediciones!

Relatively „easy“ but impressive volcano - A beautiful ascent (mostly) through snow (around 5 hours with breaks) to the summit of Quetrupillàn. Wonderful views of the surrounding volcanoes including smoking volcan Villarica. Friendly and knowledgeable guides (2 guides, only 4 people in the group!). Highly recommended!
