Villarrica Volcano Ascent

We made the ascent to the Villarrica volcano and had an excellent experience. We started very early, under a sky full of stars, and we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunrise during the ascent. Our guide Juan was excellent: he always adapted to our pace and was attentive to our well-being. The ascent was demanding, but totally achievable and the view from the top made it all worth it. The descent by slide was without a doubt one of the most fun moments. Furthermore, all the equipment was in perfect condition and we had everything necessary. We felt very safe and well accompanied throughout the entire experience. 5 stars is not enough, we would give it 6 out of 5!

From the first moment, the Rutas Outdoors team demonstrated an impeccable level of professionalism and organization. I felt safe during the entire ascent of the Villarrica volcano and they were always attentive to every member of the group. I want to especially highlight our guide, Juan Avilez, who made this adventure unforgettable. His experience, calmness, willingness, and motivation were fundamental for us to reach the crater safely. At all times he conveyed confidence, explained each step with patience, and was attentive to everyone's well-being, especially during the most demanding moments of the ascent and descent. Without a doubt, it was one of the best experiences I have had in the mountains. Reaching the crater of the Villarrica was a dream come true and a large part of that is due to the excellent work of Juan and the entire Rutas Outdoors team. I recommend them 100%. If you have the opportunity to do this adventure with Juan Avilez, don't think twice. Thank you very much!

I really recommend Rutas Outdoors if you are looking the hike up Villarica volcano. The guides Miguel and Juan are really great guides. They made sure we were safe the entire time and took a lot of photos. The equipment was very good too. Thank you so much!

I had a really great experience hiking Volcán Villarrica with Ruta Outdoors. They provide you with all the necessary equipment (backpack, shoes, snow pants, jacket, etc.), so you don't have to worry about much. We started the hike early in the morning, which allowed us to watch the beautiful sunrise from the mountain. Juan, the guide, was extremely experienced and very kind, always making sure I was okay, and explaining every part of the hike clearly. I felt safe at all parts of the hike, even though the terrain can be a bit challenging at times. Highly recommend this hike to anyone looking for an adventure. Gracias por una experiencia inolvidable :)

Juanito is the best guide to climb the volcano! Patient, professional and friendly. Everyone knows him! It was very good to have you as a guide and advisor on the ascent and descent!

We had an amazing experience climbing Villarrica Volcano with Rutas Outdoor. They provided all the necessary equipment, which was high quality and well-maintained, and everything was organized very professionally from start to finish. On a day before they took from us the exact sizes and all was waiting for us at the climbing day ready to use. Our guide, Juan, was outstanding. He stayed with us the entire time, making sure everyone felt safe and supported. Even though we didn’t reach the summit, he handled the situation with great care and professionalism, always putting our safety first and keeping a positive attitude throughout. We truly felt taken care of the whole way. Highly recommended!

The hike to Villarrica was challenging, but our guide, Juan, was really motivating. He took care of our timing, taking breaks and ofcourse our safety. His instructions were very clear at difficult spots or the sliding down, so that I felt safe at all times. The views were stunning, especially inside the crater and sliding down was so much fun and a great reward for the challenging way up. I especially recommend this trip because of the small hiking groups.

Unforgettable trip! The equipment on site was top and our guide Juan was super nice and attentive. I'm really glad to have planned the hike over Rutas

Great! The guide was very relaxing and we felt very safe with him! The ascent is absolutely amazing!

I liked the tour with Juan very much! . He always tried to adapt to the pace of the group and motivated us during the hike. The view inside the volcano at the end was amazing! Although it is good to have some experience with hikes, so the 1600m of altitude don't overwhelm you.
