ADVENTURE MENU

FULL DAY ACTIVITY

- Hiking the Volcan Villarrica (2.840m/ 9,300 ft)
This beautiful mountain has a classic volcanic cone crowning the surrounding countryside. The volcano has erupted repeatedly during the last century being the most recent eruptions registered in 1971 and 1984. Despite its continuing activity, Villarica is the most climbed peak in southern Chile. The ascent of Volcan Villarica is technically very straightforward, although it demands good fitness. Crampons, ice axe and stout footwear are provided. The crater at the summit offers a spectacular panorama: molten magma boiling out of openings in the volcano core, red-hot lava spurting up to near the crater rim and a superb view of virtually every major peak and lake in the northern Lake District. The round trekking trip would cover a distance of approx. 10 kms in 6 to 9 hours. This trip begins at 7 AM from your hotel. Under bad weather conditions (no visibility or strong ´white´ wind) we reserve the right to cancel this excursion in the last minute.

HALF DAY ACTIVITIES

- Rafting the lower Trancura (class 3)
The Trancura river is born in the high Andes and pours its crystal blue waters into the Villarrica Lake, just few kilometers from Pucon. The landscape is amazing, with the permanent view of the Villarrica volcano. This rafting experience is one of the most popular activities for visitors of all ages. In each trip, a leader guide will speech the group with safety and technical instructions. Appropriate gear will also be delivered (helmet, life jacket, paddle jacket, paddle and wetsuit if cold weather). We use rafts with a capacity of 7 to 10 person per boat. Each raft is guided by an experienced, helpful and kind guide. The lower section, classified as a class 3 (which means that you do not need experience to participate in this trip) is suitable for everyone, including beginners and families.

- Hotsprings at sunset
The Lake District´s volcanic terrain means a multitude of hot springs, many of them in the Pucon area. Some, such as the Termas del Huife on the Liucura river or Termas de Menetue in Huerquehue Park are upscale locations with modern eating and lodging facilities and bathing fixtures. Others, such as the rustic Termas Los Pozones are natural pools with less facilities but great atmosphere.

- Half day Horseback riding
Enjoy a 3 hours ride in the Cordillera del Cani, 30 kms from Pucon. This is a shorter version of the full day Horseback Riding program above which gives us the chance to get in touch with the chilean native forests as well as ride our strong horses.
