Parasitic Craters.
Embark on a unique hike at the foot of
Villarrica Volcano
, exploring trails surrounded by beautiful 🌳 native forest, where you can admire the local flora and fauna.
During the hike, we’ll reach an area of volcanic terrain where, after ancient eruptions, the lava formed small craters known as “lava ovens” or parasitic craters —a fascinating natural phenomenon that connects you with the power of the volcano.
🧭 Our guide will share fascinating facts about the Villarrica Volcano and volcanology, making this experience a perfect blend of nature, learning, and adventure.
Along the way, we’ll stop at a viewpoint located 1,400 meters above sea level, where you can enjoy an impressive panoramic view of the landscape — including the Villarrica and Llaima volcanoes, and the Villarrica and Caburgua lakes.
🚶♂️ This is an easy-level hike, ideal for all types of visitors and perfect for those seeking a peaceful, educational nature experience in Pucón.
