Pucón Parasitic Craters Hike

We will pick you up from your hotel in Pucón at the indicated time and drive to the Andes with temperate forests at the foot of the Villarrica Volcano. This volcano is the most active in Chile. Upon arrival, we will see the unique parasitic craters.

These cavities were formed by volcanic lava and contribute to a breathtaking landscape. The 5-mile (8-kilometre) hike will take 3 to 4 hours.

The hike will traverse different terrains, including forests and volcanic areas, offering views of the Villarrica, Llaima, Sollipulli, and Quetrupillán volcanoes.

During the ascent, we will observe the glacial lakes in the area, including Villarrica, Caburgua, and Calafquén, surrounded by Andean forests.

After completing the hike, we will return to your hotel in Pucón, dropping you off approximately 5 hours after the start.
