Discover the volcanic activity in Pucón on our hike around the parasitic craters, exploring unique formations in this region of Chile.

Pucón Parasitic Craters Hike

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Pucón and drive to an area of the Andes with temperate forests at the foot of the Villarrica Volcano, the most active in Chile. Upon arrival, we'll observe the remarkable parasitic craters.

These craters, formed by volcanic lava, create a stunning landscape. Our 5-mile (8-kilometre) hike will last between 3 and 4 hours, traversing trails with different terrains, including forests and volcanic zones. You'll enjoy views of the Villarrica, Llaima, Sollipulli, and Quetrupillán volcanoes.

During the ascent to the craters, we'll pass by glacial lakes such as Villarrica, Caburgua, and Calafquén, surrounded by Andean forests. Afterward, we'll return to the starting point of our hike and transfer you back to your hotel in Pucón, concluding the tour approximately 5 hours later.
