Villarrica Volcano 2-day guided climbing trip

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!
