Llaima Volcano
Rising over 3,000 meters, Llaima is one of the most impressive volcanoes in southern Chile, known for its perfect conical shape and wide views of surrounding peaks and lakes. This guided ascent offers a demanding but rewarding high-altitude experience, with overnight accommodation at a mountain hut and a route that takes us through ancient araucaria forests and snow-covered terrain.

In the morning, we’ll pick you up from your hotel or residence in the region and head to the hut Nevados de Vilcun located in the foothills of the Llaima Volcano. We will settle in and have a technical briefing to review the next day’s adventure, adjust gear, and prepare our backpacks for the summit. Dinner will be served around 7 PM and we will go to bed early.
