An unmissable experience - Very good experience, amazing view, excellent guides, supporting and reporting at all times. Physical demand of the medium-high rise. A little difficult, but not impossible

Unforgettable experience - It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. We were in a group of 13 people and 4 guides. I ended up staying behind and accompanied all the time by a guide. They are very prepared and give us peace of mind and security. Luciano (guide who stayed with me) was extremely friendly and encouraging. I didn't get to the top but only 400mts were missing. It needs some preparation.

Amazing experience - We had an amazing experience climbing Villarrica Volcano! The company's communication was excellent; they answered questions promptly and were able to advise on the best days to attempt the climb based on weather. Our guide, Sebastian, was also fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and experienced and made sure our small group was comfortable throughout the entire trek. Overall 10/10 experience! Amazing views throughout the hike and very cool to stand on the summit of an active volcano. Highly recommended experience!

Amazing experience - My friends and I did the Villarrica ascent and the Huerquehue National Park. We had the best time on both days and want to go back to Pucón asap to discover more of the area with Ermitaño Expediciones. The tours were very well organised, equipment was provided and everything went as expected if not better. All the guides were amazing, we felt absolutely safe and informed and the communication was really smooth as well beforehand via WhatsApp. I’m so glad I chose them.

A beauty of place that no one should miss! - 10 points! Very well organized everything. Very good and complete the quality of the equipment. Excellent guides. We were not prepared to summit that team, suddenly if we had known we would have prepared it better. That's why we're coming back next year!!!

Stunning views under fantastic guidance - It was quite a sporting challenge, but the view during the climb and the super fun descent with sledge was absolutely worth it. The guides have guided us through it with pleasure, for the athletes among us absolutely recommended

Bad and disappointing! - There was an accident in one of the groups next to us and someone was seriously injured and in particular died unfortunately...we were very nervous about this case and when we told the instructor that if we were afraid of this is our problem..and we were going too slow, and we were going to the office all the way he was very hostile and we didn't feel safe to get off the hill with him and we were afraid of him very badly, and when he was talking to us he started talking to us roughly and deleted my friend who cried before in an anxiety attack from the previous case.
