Villarrica magic - This was a fantastic experience and a highlight of our South American holiday. Diego, Marie and their team of expert mountain guides made the day fun & safe. This is a challenging hike and we were fortunate to experience fine weather, so had amazing panoramic views from the summit. The best part was sliding down the snow most of the way on our butt using an ice axe for a brake - it was so much fun! Would highly recommended this company and hike for moderately fit people.

Best agency for Volcano Villarrica - Couldn't have chosen a better agency in Pucon! Marike not only helped me meet the biggest challenge of my life (Volcano Villarrica) with total support and safety, but also made the bridge with third-party agencies on tours that she had no confirmed departure for the days of my trip! I recommend 100% all of the team Ermitaño

Perfect experience at the Villarrica (and an unforgettable sunset on sailboat) - I made the ascent to Villarrica volcano with Hermit and I couldn't be happier. The day was perfect and the experience was flawless from start to finish. The number of guides was fair, all very friendly and rigging, attentive to the rhythm of the group and always prioritizing safety. We were a mixture of Chileans and foreigners, and they handled it excellently thanks to their fluent communication in several languages, which made everything clearer and more entertaining. I’d already done the sunset sailing tour with them on my last couple’s anniversary, and it was great too, so I see consistency in the Quality of Service. You rating the professionalism and the good vibe, the owners and the guides are top notch. 100% recommended. I would return to them without hesitation. PS: the sleigh ride was great!

Tourism adventure Pucón - We stayed 4 days in Pucón and took the services with them. Since before we came to Carolina's attention it helped us a lot to define the activities. She was super friendly and clear with the information. Highlights include the guides who accompanied us in each of the experiences: MARI (French) and his team on the volcano ascent; BRANDON on the canyoning and our rafting guide (we don’t remember his name). All performed excellently giving information and support at all times. Both the human and material equipment was excellent. The logistics of each ride were super designed to make the passenger comfortable. The detail of finishing with a beer or juice with whom we share the activity was the perfect closure Undoubtedly all this made the experience unforgettable.
