Additional Information
The Villarrica volcano is located just 20 km from the city of Pucón, considered one of the most active volcanoes in the Andes mountain range, it is undoubtedly one of the best mountain experiences you can have in Chile.
The view that you will have during the ascent is really incredible, however the most fascinating thing is the summit, from where you will be able to observe an open crater with lava inside, lakes, forests and more volcanoes. We will ascend to 2,847 meters above sea level using different mountain techniques that you will learn during the ascent, we will cross the glacier of this imposing volcano using crampons since your safety is our priority on this excursion.

Overcoming on the last day of the year - We hired the climb of the Vilarrica volcano with Baum Adventures.
We were very well received, informed and equipped by the agency's attendants and guides!
We spent more time with guide Diego who helped us a lot on the way up and especially on the way down (my wife was afraid of slipping on the snow).
Congratulations Baum adventure and Diego!

Incredible tour, exceptional guides! - Excellent experience! The Baum team, both the administration and the guides, are super professional. Diego and Diego made the 4 hours of climbing go by very quickly thanks to their conversations.
The equipment provided by Baum exceeded expectations!
Although the authorities have not yet given permission to go up to the crater, the tour is worth it!!!

Great Views! - The trip to the volcano is very quick, and we arrived along with the sunrise in the morning. Guides were great at keeping us at a steady pace and teaching us how to use the gear/equipment. Even though I had a slight knee injury, I was able to reach the topmost views and take in the entire landscape in the area. We were unable to slide down due to the amount of ice that was forming that day but it was otherwise a great trip!

Unforgettable Experience - It was simply exciting, beautiful, breathtaking...mountain full of snow, we saw smoke coming out of the mouth of the active volcano. We went up with the help of a super experienced guide, kind and full of stories that enriched our experience. a place that everyone should visit. The city is beautiful, elegant, organized with smiling people and all the shops we need.
I left the mountain feeling privileged to have had the chance to see an active volcano.

100% recommended - Delighted with the activity, excellent guides and appropriate equipment for the conditions. I even had problems with the payment for the activity which I made twice by mistake and there was no problem on their part with the return of the surplus.
100% recommended.

Fantastic day on Villarrica! - This was a great experience! Even though we were not allowed to climb all the way to the summit (by law, because the volcano was slightly active) this was a spectacular trip! Very friendly and personal guidance all day long! I'd immediatly do this again with Baum!

Once in a lifetime opportunity! - Climbing the Villarrica volcano was truly an unforgettable experience. Hiking above the clouds to the crater of an active volcano is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Baum Adventure provided us with excellent equipment and friendly, experienced guides who prioritised our safety at all times, giving clear instructions in English, as well as Spanish. We also did Baum Adventure’s “Rafting Alto” whitewater rafting experience, which gave us the biggest adrenaline rush, so if you’re looking for outdoor adventures in Pucón, I would 100% recommend this professional, trustworthy tour agency.
