My experience ascending Villarica, one of Chile's most active volcanoes.
It is possible to drive in a 4x4 up the first 1/4 of the volcano. Then, to the crater's rim it's normally a 6-8 hour intense trek over snow, ice, and volcanic rock.
Well worth the effort, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and a glimpse into the belly of the beast revealing a lake of bubbling red lava, accompanied by rumbling beneath your feet, thunderous clashes, and sulfuric gasses rising up through the smoke.
Descending is much quicker, but none the less exciting as you sled, ski, or just slide down natural ice troughs or wash channels that create perfect toboggan runs.
Villarrica, with its type of lava composition, is one of a small number worldwide known to have an active (but in this case intermittent) lava lake within its crater. The volcano usually generates strombolian eruptions with ejection of incandescent pyroclasts and lava flows. Rainfall plus melted snow and glacier ice can cause massive lahars (mud and debris flows). Guided ascents are popular during summer months, but are subject to the current conditions
Villarrica covers an area of 400 km2, has an estimated volume of 250 km3 and stands tall 2847m (9,341 ft.).
It contains volcanic caves and about 26 scoria cones. The constant degassing at the lava lake turns the otherwise quite effusive lava more viscous, heightening its explosive potential.
I filmed using my Phantom 3 quad copter.

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!! ????????

Massive volcano eruption: Chile's Volcano Villarrica spews lava and ash 1,000 meters into the air
Volcano Villarrica erupted in southern Chile on Tuesday morning at about 3 a.m. local time. Prior to the eruption, 3,385 people were evacuated from their homes as a precaution.
On Monday officials observed volcanic activity in the volcano's crater, prompting them to declare a red alert. No one was injured during the eruption, and when the volcano quieted down an hour after it began erupting everyone returned to their homes.
Villarrica's eruption on Tuesday spewed ash and lava up to 1,000 meters into the air. Senior meteorologist at AccuWeather.com Jason Nicholls says that the volcanic ash from the eruption will probably spread to Buenos Aires and cover much of the less-populated parts of Argentina.
The 2,840-meter high Volcano Villarrica is a stratovolcano, formed by many layers of hardened lava and volcanic ash. Villarrica is rather unique because along with a conical shape that defines most stratovolcanoes, it also has a crater at its brim. The crater was formed when the edifice of the volcano collapsed. As one of Chile's most active volcanoes, Villarrica is also one of the few volcanoes in the world with an active lava lake within its crater.
According to Chile's Ministry of Mining, Villarrica's last major eruption was in 1985.

Volcano Villarrica - Pucon, Chile : Narrated by @akpolarcub

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.
Pucon | Chile | Villarrica | 4k | Drone | National Park | Termas | Waterfall | Volcano
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.

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
