  • Snowshoeing under an active volcano

Description

We begin at our office in the main square of Pucón, where we meet the guide, check your equipment and prepare for the adventure. Then, we drive approximately 30 minutes to Villarrica National Park. Once at the trailhead, we put on our snowshoes and begin a gentle walk at the base of Villarrica Volcano. The circuit takes approximately 1 hour, with plenty of time to stop and enjoy breathtaking views of the volcano, its smoking crater and Lake Villarrica. Along the way, discover the beauty of the native forests and the striking contrasts between snow, volcanic landscapes and greenery. After the hike, enjoy a warm ginger and honey drink accompanied by nuts before returning to the vehicle. We then drive approximately 30 minutes to Salto El Claro. A short walk of around 30 minutes through lush native vegetation leads us to this spectacular 70-meter waterfall, hidden inside a canyon of glacial origin. After enjoying the waterfall, we return to the vehicle and drive back to our office in Pucón. A day of nature, adventure and connection with the landscapes of southern Chile. Welcome!
