Amazing!!! - It was great. Our guide, Juan, made the experience unforgettable. He has a lot of experience and knowledge. He's the ultimate!! The views were spectacular. Although it was difficult, climbing to the top was worth a lot, and it was super fun to go down a slide afterwards. Upon returning we were given a rich refreshment. They looked after us in every aspect. An amazing use of time and money here in Pucón!

Perfect day up and active volcano! - Rutas Outdoors is the best! Blas was the perfect guide, he is very capable, knowledgeable, qualified, encouraging and experienced.
I was actually booked in with another company to ski tour up Villarrica, but they messed me around when I got to town. I spoke with several other companies trying to find an alternative and Rutas Outdoors communication was outstanding and the price very reasonable. They are also a family run business with and Cafe where the office is has great coffee!
Highly recommend.
