Beautiful but imposing

5.00It is a super demanding activity, especially depending on the weather and personal conditions. It was our turn to go after heavy rains with very low temperatures, I had never done anything like this and I lacked lungs... Still the guides were amazing. We were joined by Uber, Dani and Jorge. We missed 200 meters to reach the top and Jorge behaved amazingly with us, accompanied and guided us at all times to get down and did not leave us alone at any time. He took us to the van, told us experiences and facts about the volcano and encouraged us always. Thanks guys!
The magic of the volcano

5.00It is an amazing and satisfying experience. What makes it unique and special is the volcano itself, its smoky and beating heart, being able to admire it up close, walking its glacier. In addition, our guide will: Jorge, he was an expert in both physical and mental exertion. All the guides who came up with us are careful, professional, empathetic, explaining and telling stories that make the experience even more magical.
La raja! 🇨🇱

5.00Amazing experience! 10/10 My experience with you was so easy, powerful, and beautiful that I wanted to share these words with you: I climbed Villarrica Volcano with Ryan (my handsome gringo) on November 14, 2025. The weather was perfect, and the group was awesome! I want to thank Claudio, Jorge, Andrés, and Juan for such a fantastic day. The climb wasn't easy, but I felt safe, fully protected, and motivated. You guys are an AWESOME group!!! Take good care of yourselves! Have a wonderful summer!! Maca and Ryan
An incredible experience like no other!

5.00A truly amazing day guided by Jorge & Juan. We so enjoyed the whole experience. A superb ascent with incredible visibility & then such a lot of fun sledging down. I'd been apprehensive about the descent but it felt really safe. A great company & outstanding staff & equipment. Don't miss this opportunity if you get the chance to do it.

5.00An excellent experience with my 3 guides, brothers Jorge and Felipe Fuentes, in addition to Camila, organized by Politur agency. Super professionals and better people. The weather conditions were very good despite the intense wind at the top of the crater. Always for sure. Highly recommended.
Very nice experience

5.00Very good tour and beautiful experience, I did it in February with my pololo and my sister, if you go to pucón it is a must do sometime in your life: the view is beautiful, you go up and you see several of the volcanoes in the area as if they were below one, you really feel like in the clouds, and then reach the crater that is right there meters from one. The trekking itself is heavy, but between the guides and the beautiful group that forms it becomes much more enjoyable everything, then the descent is sliding through the snow, much faster and easier than the climb. The super professional agency, all very friendly and the guides also super friendly and professional, were explaining everything, encouraging and helping with a lot of patience as well, giving tips etc. 100% recommended, whether you are thinking about doing it or not as I was before hiring it, MAKE IT truly an unforgettable sight and experience.
Incredible Ascent of Villarrica Volcano

5.00I recommend 100% taking with this operator, the guides Javi and Sebas were attentive at all times and managed to reach the summit of the volcano! With a lot of patience as I was going a little slow being my first mountain climbing experience with snow. Always with words of encouragement, without neglecting the seriousness that requires an activity of this nature. I always felt safe and with your instructions I had no problem handling the professional equipment provided. Since I went alone, I had to join a group and they made it possible. I will be grateful to you forever!
Professional guided unique experience on Villarica vulcano

5.00Climbing Villarrica Volcano with Baum Adventure was an unforgettable experience. Communication before the tour was excellent – all questions about weather and equipment were answered quickly. We were fully equipped for the climb, including quality gear and even extra-large hiking boots. Our guides, Javiera and Sebastian, were professional, experienced, and attentive to individual needs, giving clear instructions in both English and Spanish. We felt safe and well-supported throughout the tour. One thing to note: the optional chairlift and the extra costs, which saves about an hour of hiking, wasn’t mentioned beforehand in the description on the website. Despite that, it was a unique adventure and we would definitely book again with this agency! Highly recommend!
Very good
