What To Expect
The Villarrica Volcano is the most active in Chile! It has an open crater, it emanates gases permanently and depending on its activity it is possible to see magma inside its crater. It is ideal for mountaineering, for beginners or for people with experience. The view from the summit (at 2847 meters above sea level) is impressive and allows you to see several lakes and volcanoes.
When the volcano is snowy, the descent is done with sleds and it is possible to descend the entire volcano by sliding while sitting. It is a unique experience that cannot be found on any other mountain in the world!
Since November 8, 2022, the Villarrica volcano has been on yellow alert due to volcanic activity, therefore we can only reach 2,400 meters above sea level. Last update December 2023.
