Guide was very considerate and set a comfortable pace. He was knowledgeable about volcanic history and geology and seemed to really enjoy spending the day on the mountain. Was a nice touch to be invited for a post trekking beer at his home. Would definitely recommend!!

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.

A great and unique experience in Pucón. I would consider this a must-do in the Los Lagos region. The hike up the active volcano was great, and the slide down was exhilarating! You will likely feel exhausted and satisfied

We had a private tour and our guide Felipe took us superbly to the summit. He was very professional and always gave exciting information and was very humorous.
It was very icy and we hiked with crampons for the first time. Felipe instructed us well and supported us throughout. Even if it was very strenuous (very steep slopes, long hikes), it was definitely worth it!

Bom! Experiência legal!
O valor é meio padrão na cidade então o que vale é fazer por um meio confiável.
