Follow the rhythm of the wild south on this 8-day adventure where every sunrise brings a new challenge, and every step takes you deeper into Patagonia’s beating heart.

Wander the vibrant streets of Pucon, feel the volcanic sands of Playa Grande, and pedal through enchanted forests toward crystal-blue waterfalls and sacred rivers. Ride from town to thermal paradise, from canyon walls to borderlands few ever reach — each trail, each rapid, each drop of sweat forging your connection to this raw, untamed land.

Then, when your legs are heavy and your spirit wide awake, take on the ultimate test: the smoking summit of Villarrica Volcano. Armed with crampons and courage, climb where the earth burns and the sky opens — and leave as someone changed.

This isn’t just a trip. It’s the story your future self will tell with fire in their eyes.

8 days & 7 nights | Starting at US$2,966 | Small groups | Ride to Argentina's Border Pass Mamuil Malal | Caburgua's Eyes & Black Beach| Canyoning at Correntoso River | Trancura's River Whitewater Rafting | Hidden Waterfalls' Bike Activity | Thermal Springs | Summit Villarrica Volcano

Hiking. Biking. Thriving.

Ride, flow, and summit — 8 days of pure adventure in Chile's wild South: Pucon

Embark on a journey where every day pushes you further — into nature, into challenge, into joy. From the moment you arrive in Temuco, the adventure begins with a warm-up walking tour around the vibrant town of Pucón and a golden-hour stroll along Playa Grande.

Hop on a bike and roll into the lush landscapes of Caburgua, exploring turquoise waters and hidden waterfalls like the magical Ojos del Caburgua. Just as your legs start to crave more, the Ruta de las Cascadas in Palguín Alto delivers — a ride through a secret world of roaring falls and deep native forest.

Feel the rush of whitewater as you take on the Trancura River rafting, then sink into pure bliss at the volcanic hot springs of Pucón Indómito. The next ride takes you to the edge of two worlds: crossing into Araucanía Andina and pedaling toward the Paso Fronterizo Mamuil Malal, with the Lanín Volcano towering in the distance.

Then it's time to leap — literally — into canyoning, descending waterfalls and sliding through narrow rock passages before recharging your spirit in the steamy pools of Termas de Huife.

The grand finale? A once-in-a-lifetime ascent of the Villarrica Volcano. This snowcapped giant will test your grit with ice axe in hand and crampons on your boots, but the view from the smoking crater is a reward few ever experience.

If you’ve been craving a bold reset — a return to your strongest, freest self — this is your call. Let Chile’s Lake and Volcano District challenge you, thrill you, and change you.
