Awesome - Great organization, the guides spoke a lot of languages and explained everything very clearly in each of them. The walk was really nice and pleasant, the view magical and for a first introduction to mountaineering it was perfect. The team was really great, good understanding in the group and the little drink offered at the end allowed us to make friends too!

Awesome day! - The route was phenomenal, and the organization of the group was excellent. Despite the natural effort to ascend, somehow we felt very good with the tips and professional support of the guides who at all times supported every situation that could be classified as risky. I also appreciate the local stories and certain names of native species (type edible berries) which enrich the route taken that day. Finally, a little adrenaline on the way down was also well received on this “adventure” route to the most active volcano in Latin America! . Thanks to the excellent support received from the team in charge, it was possible to enjoy that day in a safety and friendship environment. Thanks a million!

Great, very professional agency. Home in French - Very nice excursion. Serious agency with several guides to accompany walkers at different paces. Quality equipment provided (shoes, crampons, bag etc.). Nice atmosphere. Sledding down the few remaining snowfields in March. I also did the excursion to the Quetrupillán volcano with this agency and I recommend it.

Awesome Day - We did the Villarrica Volcano ascent with Ermintaño Expediciones and had a perfect experience. The equipment was well-maintained, the trip was very organized and punctual, and the guides were so knowledgable, kind and fun to be around. Sebastian in particular was a standout guide for us - he made sure we had an all around great experience. 100% would recommend!

Ermitano Expedicciones .... Simply Amazing Villarrica Volcano Accent. - We did the Villarrica accent over Easter. We were fortunate enough to have nice weather, given how changeable it is from one day to the next. I read some reviews beforehand, that said it was quite challenging, but we didn't find it to be difficult, and we're in our sixties. It's about a 17km round trip. I liked the variation and different challenges, from uphill hiking, with volcanic rock all around, to putting on crampons and other protective gear, to the ice climbing, to sledding down the snow. (We were at the end of the season, so not as much snow as earlier on); then finally the walk back to the start, which is on a different route as the one we came up, so much faster. I wished I'd brought sandals for the walk back though, because I had a sore big toe, (from our 20km San Sebastian hike 2 days earlier), and the hard boots restricted my ability to walk downhill, without feeling the pain. The ground was too rocky to walk without footwear unfortunately, so I was a bit slow getting back. Marika and Christian from Ermitano Expedicciones do an amazing job in co-ordinating everything. We did 4 activities with them and all the guides were amazing, the excursions were awesome, they were always on time, the prices were very fair, and the memories will last forever. They take photos and videos for everyone along the way, then send them to you afterwards, without charge ... exceptional! If you have a sense of adventure, and want to challenge yourself, the fantastic team at Ermitano will encourage you, and take care of you all the way. And you'll have lots of beautiful memories, of your adventures in beautiful Pucon, Chile.

Best Tour Ever! - Wow! This was an absolutely incredible experience. As we began our sunrise assent to the top of Villarica, my expectations were high but little did I know what this powerful beauty had in store for us. At every stop we took a moment to enjoy the stunning views. Climbing the snowy peaks and getting to sled down was definitely a highlight. Our guide, Sebastian, was phenomenal! Could not have done it without him. All the guides, Marike, Sebastian and Barbara were extremely helpful, patient, positive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Above and beyond - The folks at Ermitano Expeditions are excellent, to say the least. They are professional, intelligent, and very interesting people to guide you through your desired journey. I reached out to a lot, if not all, the tour companies in Pucon and the energy I received from them was very unique as compared to the rest. They were the only company that did not try to fit me into a pre-existing group. When I asked which mountain they recommended, they gave me descriptions of each, and empowered me to weigh the pros and cons. I was a solo traveler on a student budget with a restricted timeframe and they were able to answer all my questions and follow-up questions. They went above and beyond to educate me on things to do and places to go outside of their jurisdiction. They were very conscious of my health and well-being, both on and off the mountains. They also set up transfers for me between my hostel, airport, and their office. They have enough equipment to supplement whatever you already have, which makes it easy travel light. A few days with them, and we were all family. I highly recommend booking with them, shoot them a text and see how it goes!

10/10 - Excellent experience!! Beautiful trekking, entertaining ascent and descent! The wonderful view. The dry guides also provide you with information and support you all the way. Recommended 100%.

Super climb of Villarica volcano - Excellent experience, very well organized day and very friendly guides. Spoiler: the descent remains the most pleasant moment!

Prepare for your trip with the right service provider - This my first ever experience with climb, I dis not Image that I will have to do and how much I try to get the highest point. On our way, at least one I wanna quit but at the end, I could do thing that I thought wouldn’t. And I can’t do it without my tour guide, they alway encourage us and be patient to bring us to the top. The way down is very nice experience. That is the most valuable activity in púcon
