- Volcan Villarica - We will have the option to ascend one of the most active volcanoes in South America with a height of 2,847 meters. In the ascent, we can experience the mountaineering in different phases, from walking with sticks towards the summit, to hiking with crampons and an ice ax in more exposed areas, where always under the support of our expert guides, a significant mountain experience will be lived. On the summit, we can clearly observe the activity of this sacred volcano through its fumarole and if the weather allows us, we might be able to observe the incandescent magma inside. On the descent, the panoramic views of the lakes in the area and the geography of the place, will give us clear information of the unique natural environment where we are. We will be able to go down sections sliding on snow toboggans. We will climb 1,700 metres in elevation, with the possibility of taking a snow lift on the first stretch.

A great day out - A great day out. Edgar and Raul were fabulous guides. They were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable all day long.
The trip up was quite tough but perfectly achievable (as a 55 year old). However the guides help and encourage all the way. The views are amazing and the trip down on the plastic sledge are so fun.
A great day out.

Unique experience for your time in Pucon - A unique experience, the aRgentur prepared everything super organized and nothing was missing. You feel super looked after and it was an unforgettable experience. The trail Berg on a sled was a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend this tour. Best in good weather. Warm clothing is still necessary, as it can get very windy and icy on top. Waterproof clothing is provided as well as trekking poles and backpacks.

Transformative Experience with Zenit Travel! 🌋🎿👏 - My experience with Zenit Travel was simply extraordinary! From the very beginning, their organization, professionalism, and attention to detail impressed me.
I embarked on this incredible trek together with a groupf of 12 explorers to the icy heights of Villarrica Volcano, nestled in the stunning Araucanía region of Pucón, Chile. For such a challenging adventure, I couldn’t have chosen a better agency to guide me through this unforgettable experience.
The guides Luisa, Edgar, Raul, and Ernandez were exceptional: highly skilled, patient, attentive, and always maintaining a positive attitude that made every moment of the climb special, unforgettable, and filled with a touch of fun.
Zenit Travel stands out not only for their focus on safety and technical expertise but also for the way they create meaningful connections along the journey. They ensure every traveler feels cared for, supported, and part of something greater.
If you're looking for an authentic, enriching experience led by a team genuinely passionate about what they do, I wholeheartedly recommend Zenit Travel.
I can't wait to return and explore new adventures with them! Thank you so much Zenit and Augustin for providing such remarkable moments.

Both the volcano and the guides fully deserve 5 stars! - I fully support that they have such an excellent rating!
We were on tour with Raul, Edgar and Osiel and they made it a perfect day. They paid attention to the group and kept a steady pace that everyone could follow. Nice breaks and a lot of information. On top of this these guys have a lot of humor.
You feel safe and in good hands while having fun on this fantastic volcano.

Amazing experience, highly recommend - We hiked up Villarica Volcano with Mauricio as our guide. He was super professional, very chilled and so patient with us. He was so encouraging and made the whole day an amazing experience. The company provided all the gear that was needed, it was clean and all in great condition. We also got to slide down the mountain on basically sledges which was so fun. The hike up was very manageable, it was long but you have to take your time. Would highly recommend this company, everything went really well and we thoroughly enjoyed our day

Unique experience - Climbing early with lots of snow was an amazing experience. The guides are very attentive and follow us closely. We faced cold muuuuito, which made the experience almost a challenge. It was not easy, it needs a lot of physical preparation and breath to walk in the snow at the pace of rise.
