Overview
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 October 24, 2023, the Villarrica volcano has been on orange alert, due to increased activity, therefore climbing is prohibited for the moment.
