Pucon Ultimate Volcano Odyssey
Let your spirit soar through lush forests, rushing rivers, and winding trails as you hike, raft, ride and canyon your way across the untamed heart of Chile’s Lake and Volcano District. Then, answer the call of the heights — with ice axe in hand, ascend the snow-capped Villarrica Volcano, where fire meets sky and your adventure reaches its fiercest crescendo.
9 days & 8 nights | Starting at US$2,966 | Small groups | Huerquehue National Park | Caburgua's Eyes & Black Beach| El Cañi's Sanctuary | Trancura's River Whitewater Rafting | Hidden Waterfalls' Bike Activity | Canyoning Correntoso River | Thermal Springs | Villarrica Volcano Ascent
Hiking. Biking. Thriving.
Get ready to sweat, soar and summit on this 9-day multi-adventure experience deep in Chile’s Lake and Volcano District. Pedal through epic scenery from Pucon to Caburgua, trek to the mystical Melidekiñ lookout in the ancient forests of El Cañi and discover hidden waterfalls along the scenic Waterfalls' Route. Raft the wild Trancura River, send it down the trails of Cerduo Bike Park and dive into the pristine nature of Huerquehue National Park. Cool off by canyoning down natural rock slides in the Río Correntoso, then soak your muscles in the geothermal waters of Pucon Indómito hot springs.
But the crown jewel of this journey? The mighty Villarrica Volcano. Towering above the town of Pucon, this active snow-capped giant is your ultimate challenge. Strap on your crampons and grab your ice axe — this is no walk in the park. It’s a full-day ascent that will test your strength, endurance, and willpower. But once you reach the crater’s edge and see the world unfold beneath you, steaming with volcanic energy, it will all be worth it.
This is an adventure for the bold, the fit and the unstoppable — a once-in-a-lifetime experience for those who live for the rush of a challenge. Are you up for it?

Why you'll love this trip
-
Trek deep into ancient forests as you hike through El Cañi Sanctuary and Huerquehue National Park, where towering monkey puzzle trees and panoramic viewpoints reward your every step.
-
Tear up the trails at Cerduo Bike Park, where the forest becomes your playground with technical terrain, fast descents, and pure endorphin-fueled fun.
-
Cycle from Pucon to the tranquil village of Caburgua and later along the week, awe at the Ruta de las Cascadas that we designed, discovering remote waterfalls and volcanic landscapes on two wheels.
-
Summit a live volcano. The 5-hour climb up Villarrica Volcano is not just a hike — it's a true alpine challenge. Strap on crampons, crunch through snowfields and stand at the edge of an active crater with views that feel like the edge of the world.
-
Feel the adrenaline surge with white-water rafting on the Trancura River and canyoning down natural rock slides in the wild Río Correntoso — then unwind in the soothing thermal pools of Pucón Indómito.
-
Disconnect to reconnect — no phones, no noise, just nature, movement and moments that remind you what it feels like to be fully alive. Every day is a fresh challenge and every trail leads to something unforgettable.
-
➢ Day 1: Temuco's Airport to PuconTouch down in Temuco but don’t get too comfortable — your journey into the heart of adventure begins now. After a scenic transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Pucon, you'll meet your Adventure Leader — the one who will guide, challenge, and inspire you throughout this experience. After a group briefing and safety check-in, stretch your legs on a walking tour through Pucon’s vibrant town center so you'll get familiarized with. Then, feel the first stirrings of something greater as you stand before the vast blue mirror of Lake Villarrica at Playa Grande. This is the calm before the storm.
-
➢ Day 2: Pucon to Caburgua's Black Beach via QuelhueClip in and roll out. Today’s MTB ride takes you through the soothing backroads of Quelhue and into the emerald corridor that leads to Caburgua. Discover the magic of Ojos del Caburgua, where underground rivers surge to the surface in electric-blue pools. Spot swirling life below at the Mirador de Peces. Then glide past Laguna Azul, Salto Las Vertientes, Los Copihues and Bellavista — a crescendo of waterfalls, forest paths, and soul-lifting silence. Your ride ends on the black sands of Playa Negra, where lake and volcano meet in silent awe.
-
➢ Day 3: El Cañi's Sanctuary TrekkingStrap on your boots and summon your strength. Today, you hike into the ancient soul of the Andes — the El Cañi Sanctuary. This 8-hour trek to the Melidekiñ lookout point challenges not just your legs, but your will. Climb through mossy lenga forests and up misty ridgelines until you reach the Melidekiñ lookout, where all of Pucon & Caburgua unfolds beneath you. In this sacred place of silence and wind, something inside you shifts.
-
➢ Day 4: Pucon to Palguín Alto: The "Waterfalls Route" Bike RideSaddle up for the "Waterfalls Route" a 60 km MTB round-trip ride that’s as raw as it is breathtaking. Start with the thundering Salto La Mula, then lose yourself in the twin beauty of Los Mellizos. Each waterfall along this route — La China, El Diablo, El León, El Puma — tells its own story in spray and stone. Finish at Termas de Palguín, where your tired muscles find fire-forged relief in geothermal pools carved into the wild.
-
➢ Day 5: Canyoning & Cerduo Bike ParkYour morning begins with raw adventure: canyoning down the Río Correntoso. Leap, slide, and rappel through a series of pristine waterfalls and narrow gorges in one of Pucon’s wildest river canyons — an unforgettable adrenaline rush wrapped in jungle mist and mountain water. After a well-earned lunch back in town, it's time to shift into high gear. In the afternoon, head to Cerduo Bike Park, nestled on the lower slopes of the mighty Villarrica Volcano. Here, volcanic soil and forest trails combine for a perfect blend of flowy descents, technical features, and natural obstacles. From water to wheels, this day is all about harnessing nature’s energy — and your own.
-
➢ Day 6: Huerquehue National Park TrekkingToday, step into a living postcard: Huerquehue National Park, where ancient araucaria trees tower over glacial lakes and soaring peaks. This full-day trek takes you deep into the Andean foothills on one of the park’s most iconic trails — the Los Lagos trail. Follow winding forest paths past a series of shimmering high-altitude lagoons: Laguna Verde, Laguna Toro, and Laguna Huerquehue. Along the way, catch panoramic views of the Villarrica Volcano and the valley below. The trail is steep at times, but the reward is pure southern magic — crisp mountain air, wild bird calls, and the serene beauty of untouched Patagonia. This is the day to breathe deep, hike far, and feel fully alive.
-
➢ Day 7: Rafting + Thermal Hot SpringsThe Trancura River doesn’t ask for permission — it tests your nerve with Class III rapids that twist and surge through native forest. Paddle hard, shout louder, and emerge soaked in triumph. Then trade wild water for still heat at Termas Pucón Indómito, where you’ll soak under the sky and let nature press its hand gently on your soul.
-
➢ Day 8: Summit the living giant: Villarrica Volcano AscentYour final challenge is the most iconic of them all: the ascent of Villarrica Volcano, one of Chile’s most active and awe-inspiring peaks. As dawn breaks over the Lake and Volcano District, begin your climb across snowfields and rugged slopes toward the smoking crater above. With every step, the landscape shifts — from rocky outcrops to icy stretches — until you reach the edge of the earth itself: a panoramic summit that looks out over volcanoes, lakes, and a vast southern horizon. Steam rises from the crater below, the sky feels closer than ever, and a fierce sense of accomplishment surges through your body. You didn’t just visit this land — you conquered its heights. This is more than a climb. It’s a defining moment.
-
➢ Day 9: GoodbyeWith your legs tired, your heart full, and your mind forever changed, it’s time to say goodbye. But something's different now. You came here as a visitor but now you leave as part of the wild.
