Private Villarrica ascent from Pucon with crampons and sliding gear, certified guides, and windproof clothing for $190.

“Really great activity and great team of guides. Our climb had to be cancelled due to weather but Camila made sure we were accommodated the following day, including coming back on time so that we can continue our journey. Guides Richard, Edgar and Niko were brilliant-very knowledgable about the area, Chile in general. They made sure pace was appropriate for everyone and that everyone was having a good time. On a way down we sledged half the way which was an unexpected bonus. Great excursion. Would highly recommend.”

Villarrica Volcano Ascent – Zenit

4.Villarrica Volcano Ascent – Zenit

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 111 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $195

Climb Chile’s active Villarrica with Zenit from Pucon. Early start, crampons and ice axe, fumaroles, and a snowy toboggan-style descent.

“Je ne sais pas ce qu'il faut "noter". Si c'est l'organisation et les guides, c'est "Excellent". Si c'est mon expérience personnelle, Zenit n'est évidemment pas responsable de la météo, très variable et aléatoire au Chili, et que mon programme ne me permettait pas d'attendre 2 jours la bonne météo. Le jour de mon ascension elle était épouvantable, notre groupe de 3 + le guide est le seul arrivé ce jour-là au bord du cratère en ne voyant même pas l'autre bord (10m de visibilité). La descente a été cauchemardesque pour moi, je ne voyais rien avec le givre dans mes lunettes, grosse crampe à la cuisse gauche au quart de…”

“WOW. Guillermo is full of JOY and passion for the river and for sharing the sport and spirituality of Kayaking with you. From the moment he picks you up he exudes enthusiasm. Think: Danny Rojas from "Ted Lasso" vibes. We were actually very tired and beat up when it was time for the tour. The second we got in to his truck, our mood was transformed by his infectious joy and we were swept up in his excitement and ready to rock !! Truly Guillermo turned our day into an amazing experience and a memory we will always cherish. We learned a lot as he gave excellent instructions before and…”

Climb Villarrica from Pucon to its active open crater, then try snow slides when conditions allow. Full-day guided hike with gear.

“The tour agency that was on the Viator website does not exist, is out of business. As the hike drew near, we were contacted by Viator to pay (which we did), and texted multiple times to the tour agency (through Viator) with questions, but never heard back. We arrived in town the night before the hike. On the day of the scheduled hike, we went to the designated meeting place—nothing/no one was there. We went to the address of the tour agency—found the building but it was obviously abandoned. Viator responded promptly to my text, said they would investigate. Got back to me within a day, and refunded me within…”

And the fact that the trek ended in these extraordinary hot springs was so unique -- most tour operators do not have access to this land. Highlight of our trip to Chile.”

14.Half day Canyoning activity in Pucón

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 20 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $75

Half-day canyoning on Pucon's Correntoso River: low-water trek, three 9 to 12 m rappels, guided safety, about 4 hours, $75.

“Magical was the word we all agreed on afterwards to describe this. There are moments within the canyon where you just can't believe your eyes. It looks like you're in a video game or something. The rappelling was good fun too! The falling water hits hard as you descend which is a bit of a shock at first, and you are cold for a bit at the bottom after each one (there are three over the course of the hike) but it's worth it for what you get to see/experience! Our guide Matías was great and we had a lot of fun sharing the time with him! Would certainly recommend…”
