Villarrica Volcano hike and summit, Pucon, Chile. 13th May 2011

Summit of Volcan Villarrica near Pucon, Chile
The incredible summit of Volcan Villarrica (9,341ft/2,847m), an active volcano near Pucon in Chile. The volcanic gases were so strong, everyone was coughing, and you could see all kinds of steam pouring out from the lava lake in the crater. I climbed with the Aguaventura company in early March and it took us around 8 hours round trip.

We traveled to Pucon in the south of chile, which is one of my favorite places on earth. We went hiking in the national parks, swimming under a waterfall and relaxing at the cleanest beaches of all time or in the most wonderful hot water thermes ever. With the beautiful lake and the volcano at sunset a day couldn't be more perfect.

Status in the southern Andes in the La Araucanía Region of Chile is the stratovolcano Quetrupillan. Which sits between Pucon’s always smoking Villarrica volcano and the always dominant Lanin in Argentina. We spent an afternoon at the summit and captured these long shots of the glacial Caldera, revealing the dramatic landscape of volcanic region of Chile and Argentina.

TREKKING VOLCAN VILLARRICA 2847m!! - Pucon Chile | 331
12 November 2019 - Day 82 - Volcan Villarrica | 331
Today we hike up Chile’s most active volcano - Volcan Villarrica! Standing at 2847m, this volcano had its last eruption only in 2015 and an amber alert in September just 2 months ago! It is Pucon’s most popular hike and tourist attraction! ????
A early wake up call at 6am, we gear up and head to the base to start our hike at 7:30am. A generally very steep hike, we traverse through some sections steeper than 45 degrees, feeling the legs burn as we ascended up to the summit. Halfway through we put on our crampons for the snowy section. Last time I had these on was in Mexico climbing its highest point - Pico de Orizaba at 5850m!! ???????? With cloudless skies and virtually minimal wind, it was perfect conditions for today’s hike which made it so much more enjoyable. ????????❄️
We reach the summit just after midday, ascending 1.6km vertical over 5 hours and what a sight it was! Thick smoke fuming from inside the crater we even needed to wear gas masks! This volcano is one of the only volcanos in the world you can hike up to the peak of an open crater and see lava! ???????? These as the moments you live for!
Just when you thought the day was over after dinner, we stumble upon a late night protest surrounding a big fire in the middle street. All of a sudden, I see a whirling trail of smoke whiz pass my head, missing me by just a few cm’s. Pacos had just arrived to break it up. Couldn’t believe how close that gas canister came to my head - it’s the size of a coke can!! Safe to say it was probably a good time to head home and call it a day!! ????????

Chile: Villarrica Volcano Summit & Ski Descent (4K)

Volcano Villarrica Hike and Climb to the Summit
This video is about climbing, trekking, and then sledding down the snow capped Villarrica Volcano in Pucon, Chile! For more info about this adventure, see our full blog post about it at:
Pucon, Chile (Hiking the active Villarrica Volcano)
After finishing Patagonia, we didn't quite know how tired we were until arriving in Pucon, Chile. This town was exactly what we needed; a quiet mountain town with good infrastructure,
food, and again very friendly people.
Three days into relaxing and I needed a challenge. The new challenge was to summit the nearby Villarrica Volcano. The video and below cover my best memories of that day.
As we prepare to hike the last fifteen minutes to the top of the mountain, I ask, “Is the mask required”?
The response was, “If the gas is toxic, then use the mask”
To which I ask the obvious question of “When is it toxic”?
“You’ll know”
So I begin the last portion thinking, “Am I going to die from the gas”? Or better yet, will I merely pass out from the gas and fall into the volcano and become a sacrifice to the gods of Villarrica? None of that happens but when we arrive at the top, the smell is harsh. It’s like being at a hot spring but like I’ve never experienced before. The gas mask was great for breathing but my eyes were another story. After walking away from the smoke, clearing my eyes and walking back, I saw liquid magma exploding into the air. These few minutes we had at the top, despite the agonizing gas, were incredible and one of the best experiences on the trip.
That wasn’t all, we still had to descend. The day quickly turned from mountaineering expedition into an adventure park. After we geared up in suits that surely would make me win sexiest man of Pucon, we took our ride down the mountain via butt sliding down a series of ice luges. There was a minimal safety talk but all I heard was we would slide on our butts, brake with an ice axe, and if the speed was great enough then we would eventually stop by running into the person in front of us, brilliant! We had an incredible time and felt like I was five years old at a water park.

[한국어 정보]
푸콘에서의 여행 마지막 날, 비야리카화산 통제가 부분적으로 풀렸다고 해 그곳에 가 보았다. 해발 1400미터의 전망대에서 관광객들이 화산의 풍경을 즐기고 있다. 산티아고 부근의 지진으로 비야리카 화산의 연기가 더 높게 피워 오르고 있다. 금방이라도 화산이 폭발할 것 같다. 비야리카 화산 트래킹은 해발 1600미터까지 리프트를 타고 2천 8백 미터에 있는 분화구까지 걸어 도착한다. 오늘은 지진의 여파로 리프트 운행을 중지한 상태이다. 화산의 정상도 접근이 통제되어 정상 아래 해발 1600미터 지점까지 관광객들이 걸어서 올라갔다. 나도 스키어를 따라 해발 1600미터 지점까지 올라가 보았다. 안데스의 자연은 포근하고 부드러웠다. 그 곳에서 안데스 산맥의 장엄한 산줄기와 마주친다. 남북으로 7천키로 미터를 달리며 세계에서 가장 긴 산맥을 보는 것은 가슴 뛰는 감동적 경험이다. 화산에서 트래킹, 눈썰매, 스키 같은 모험을 즐길 수 있어 비야리카는 칠레에서 가장 인기 있는 국립공원이다. 지진이 없었다면 산 정상에서 내려오는 색다른 활화산 스키를 보았을 것이다. 해발 2천8백의 정상에서 보는 안데스 산맥은 얼마나 장엄한 모습일까? 아쉬움이 남는 여행이었다. “여기 풍경과 눈, 산 정상 모든 것이 정말 좋습니다. 아쉽게도 위험경보 때문에 정상에는 오르지 못했습니다. 그렇지만 날씨도 정말 좋고 여기 있어서 행복합니다.”

The last day of travel, Villa Rica Volcano control in Pucon saw there a year and partially solved. Tourists on the lookout altitude of 1400 meters have been enjoying the landscape of the volcano. By the earthquake in the vicinity of Santiago, it is coming up more smoke the smoke of Villa Rica Volcano high. Soon even it seems to be volcanic eruption. Villa Rica Volcano Trekking arrive and walk to the crater in 2800 meters take the lift up to 1600 m above sea level. Today, the state has stopped the lift station in the aftermath of the earthquake. Top of the volcano is also accessible controls climbed tourists walk up to 1600 meters above sea level points below normal. I climb up to 1600 meters above sea saw point along the skiers. Nature of the Andes was soft cozy. There, encounters and spectacular sanjulgi of the Andes. It hangs 7,000 kilometers from north to south to see the world's longest mountain range in the chest beats a moving experience. Trekking on the volcano, sled, skis can enjoy the adventures of Villa Rica is the most popular national park in Chile. Without the earthquake it would have seen a different skiing active volcanoes come down from the mountain top. Is 2008 meters above sea level in the Andes Mountains to see how the bag top is spectacular appearance? This trip was a disappointment remains. It's all here, landscape and snow, the summit is really good. Unfortunately, the summit did not go up because of the danger alarm. But the weather is really good and happy to be here.

VOLCANO VILLARRICA CLIMB
In this video, I go on a volcano Villarrica hike! It was so awesome!!
When I tell people about the idea of climbing an active volcano, they immediately freak out. But I am excited to share with everybody that it is not as crazy nor scary as you might think.
In May 2016, I decided to fly over to Pucon in Chile and summit an active volcano, Volcano Villarrica. Initially, I wanted to sky dive out of a helicopter into the crater but for some reason, the operating company never returned my emails. In hindsight, skydiving into the crater was probably a bit too crazy… but I would have done it had the company returned my emails ????
The next best thing I could do was to summit Villarrica. And that was exactly what I set out to achieve.
I was curious to learn of the eruption history of Volcano Villarrica. Apparently in March 2015, the volcano erupted. Forcing over 3,000 people to evacuate. The eruption continued until July 2015 and it wasn’t until December (I believe,) that it was re-opened for summit attempts.
As mentioned, it was in May of 2016 that I arrived into the tiny town of Pucon to attempt a summit of Volcano Villarrica. It was freezing cold! There were evacuation signs, sirens, and evacuation lights all over the town (you’ll see all of this in the Vlog I created.) It was AWESOME!
The climb was with a group of people from all around the world. We had packed ice picks, crampons (which we never used,) and gas masks. You’ll see in the video that everybody in the group was friendly and we all had an absolute blast.
On the first day, we tried to summit the volcano but failed due to low level cloud. Apparently summit attempts are not allowed when there is a cloud layer over the Volcano. Also, if the wind direction is wrong, the poisonous volcanic gases will be pushed down the volcano and into all of the trekkers.
We learned self-arrest methods during the climb, in case any of us slipped off the mountain. There were parts of the volcano that were very steep and any of us could have slipped off! That just makes the whole trek so much more exciting ????
Once we arrived at the summit, you could see and hear the explosiveness and power of the volcano! It was insane… But then it gets better. A whole lot better.
We didn’t just “walk” down the volcano. We glissaded down the volcano at speeds that were so fast that I almost lost control. All of this was captured on my GoPro and you will see this in the video.
After we all arrived at the bottom, we all celebrated with a drink with everyone that we shared the experience with.
I highly recommend that you give this a try if you are ever in Pucon in Chile ????

Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Pucón is a Chilean city and commune administered by the municipality of Pucón. It is located in the Province of Cautín, Araucanía Region, 100 km to the southeast of Temuco and 780 km to the south of Santiago.Pucón's location by a lake and volcano, along with its relatively stable climate, especially in summer, make it a popular destination for tourists. It offers a variety of sports and adventure/recreational activities for tourists, including water skiing, snow skiing, backpacking, white water rafting and kayaking, horse back riding, natural hot springs, zip line rides, and guided ascents of Villarrica volcano. According to the 2002 census carried out by the Chilean National Statistics Institute, Pucón spans an area of 1,248.5 km2 (482 sq mi) and has 21,107 inhabitants (10,705 men and 10,402 women). Of these, 13,837 (65.6%) lived in urban areas and 7,270 (34.4%) in rural areas. The population grew by 47% (6,751 persons) between the 1992 and 2002 censuses. Pucón is a major centre of adventure tourism in Chile. During the summer, tourist attractions include hiking, rafting, horseback riding, bird watching, fishing, canopy trails, and canyoning. Due to its striking natural surroundings, near a volcano and several lakes, nature reserves and thermal baths, Pucón attracts tourism all year round. In winter and spring, it is possible to go skiing or snowboarding on the slopes of Villarrica volcano or visit thermal baths in the middle of the Valdivian temperate rain forest.
Volcanoes
The most well-known is Villarrica (volcano), but other volcanoes tourists can visit include Mocho-Choshuenco, Quetrupillán and Lanín. The 2,840 meter high Villarrica is part of the Ring of Fire that lie around the basin of the Pacific Ocean. It is an active volcano with more than 82 eruptions since 1558; the most recent of which occurred on March 3rd, 2015. Despite this, it is possible to climb it throughout the year, if weather and volcanic activity permit. During winter, the summit is completely covered by snow, and offers views of at least seven of the surrounding lakes.
El Cañi
El Cañi, meaning “sight that transforms”, is a private protected area of 500 hectares belonging to a non-profit organization. It contains hiking trails through ancient Araucarias, Lengas (Lenga Beech), Coigues, old volcanic craters and lagoons. It is administered by a group of young farmers who offer an “eco” alternative to tourism. The park is home to foxes, pumas, pudús (a small kind of deer), wild ducks and condors, among many other species. A view point located at 1,550 meters altitude provides views of four nearby volcanoes: Villarrica, Quetrupillán, Lanín and Llaima.Wikipedia
Pucon by Drone 4K | Sur de Chile | Sven & Melody 6 months in South America
In this episode we show you Pucon, an awesome little town in Sur de Chile | Patagonia. This town is located in Chile's lake district next to the active vulcano, Villarica. From this action packed town there a many things you can do such as hikings, wild water rafting, sliding from the vulcano & even skydiving. In the winter you can also ski or snowboard in this area. This was definitely one of our highlights of our time in Chile & definitely a must do when visiting Patagonia!
On of the activities we did was the hike to the summit of San Sebastian, this 16km hike was pretty heavy but the 360* view is stunning, we could see 7 vulcano's from the top!
We stayed in the Eco Etnico Hostel, which is in the centre of Pucon. This was a super nice play to stay, the owner Rodolfo is a Canadian who drove his van running on the vegetable oil from Canada, when he arrived in Pucon he never left again. There is a really chill vibe, we were welcomed in Pucon's little Amsterdam.
