Description
We'll start at our agency or pick you up at your accommodation to begin the adventure by observing the geological richness of the territory. The first town we'll pass through is Curarrehue, which means 'Stone Altar' in Mapudungun, and has been sculpted by glaciers and rivers.
We'll continue the tour to Puesco, which means 'Water of the North.' Here, you'll have a privileged view of the Las Peinetas rock formation, also known as Sierra Millallifen, a natural monument born from the collision of tectonic plates.
Arrival at the Villarrica National Park, Puesco sector, where we'll start the excursion at 1,010 meters above sea level with a leisurely walk through forests of century-old coihues for 3.4 kilometers to the river, where we'll take off our shoes to cross. We'll take a break and continue ascending through wonderful forests full of life accompanied by birdsong, for 4.5 kilometers with 765 meters of elevation gain until we reach the viewpoint of the Quinquilil Volcano with privileged panoramic views of the Lanin Awelñanko Volcano, Quetrupillan Volcano and Las Peinetas or Sierra Millallifen. If we're lucky, we'll be accompanied by the magnificent Andean condors or 'Mankes,' the guardians of the heights.
After enjoying the immensity of the landscape, eating, and taking photos, we'll start the descent to the valley for about 3 to 4 hours. To end the experience, we'll celebrate at the agency on the banks of the Loncofilo River with a natural juice or beer and a view of the rugged Quinquilil Volcano on the horizon.
