Excursion
Inactive craters of Villarrica volcano — photo 1

Transfer from the hotel in Pucón to Parque Nacional Villarrica (14.5 km). Hike between 1,000 and 1,300 metres above sea level with about 2.5 hours of exploration at the highest point, where participants can view Caburgua and Huelipilun lakes, the Llaima volcano, the Sollipulli snowfields, Villarrica Lake and nearby volcanoes such as Quetrupillán and Lanín.

The route alternates lenga forest and Andean grasslands. At the highest point there are six small inactive volcanic craters, 5 to 10 metres in diameter; some are eroded while others remain clearly visible. The route shows folds formed by lava flows and low caverns created by ground subsidence. After a thematic explanation on volcanology and the activity of Villarrica volcano, the return descent follows a dry lava canyon to the transfer point and then back to the hotel in Pucón after approximately 1.5 hours of gentle walking.

Booking & policies

Are the prices shown net or retail?

Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see an indicative retail “from” price; the net rate is never shown outside the B2B Portal.

What happens after I book?

When you book, we receive your booking and start working on it: it shows as “In process” and we let you know of every update. Vouchers are sent once payments have been received.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations follow Clause 7 of the Terms: more than 30 days before the service, no penalty and a full refund; 15 to 30 days, 25%; 8 to 14 days, 50%; 3 to 7 days, 75%; less than 72 hours before commencement or a no-show, 100%. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. The schedule above is indicative: the conditions that apply to each booking are those stated in the quotation, and may be stricter in high season, on public holidays or where a service has its own policy.

Can dates or passenger names be changed after booking?

Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
