Having heard of some suspect operators covering the ascent of the volcano, I decided to go with Aguaventura, a French company with a good reputation. There was a high ratio of guides to climbers and safety was a paramount issue. The climb is tough, with crampons, pick-axe etc., not to be under-estimated, the rucksack provided is heavy, but if you... More

We climbed the Villaricca volcano with Aguaventura. The great thing about Aguaventura is that they are not after your money. We had some days of bad weather, when the tours were cancelled. The first day of good weather, the guy from Aguaventura said "if you want, you can go today. You have a reservation, and we are going. But if... More

We took both the Volcan and Hydrospeed trips with them. We had a reservation for the Volcano on March 1st but we went there in the morning and the guy at the desk honestly said the weather wasn't really good, and that it would be uncertain that we'd get to the top. He suggested to postpone our trip if we... More

It was a great experience climbing that volcano with all these experinced guides. We were 48 walkers and more 8 guides including a woman, Francisca, very kind and helpful. They made the difference for me because I need more rest than the others and always one of them were with me encouraging, giving me a hand, healping me with my... More

Dear customers, Thank you very much for your comments, we really appreciate it. we just would like to precise something, we cannot have a group of 48 walkers. We have a maximum of 30 people in our group, plus in this case, 10 guides. Besides, when we are 30 people, we divide the group into 2 smaller groups in the... More

We tried to summit the volcano with these guides on a bad weather day. Be warned that most your companies will take you 20 minutes up on a day with weather too bad to summit and still make you pay. Not these guys! They made the right call to have us try again the next day hich was a success.... More

Aguaventura were recommended to us through our hostel and proved to be a great tip! With lots of companies offering the same service, it was great to have one that had a good "rep" and cancellation policy. We booked the day before going up the Volcano, and were told that nothing was to be paid unless we actually hiked (if... More

We climbed Volcan Villarica with Aguaventura and really enjoyed the excursion (approx $80 USD/person). Beautiful views along the hike up and of course at the top - looking into the mouth of the volcano is amazing. The guides are friendly and lots of fun. The company provides you with all the outdoor gear and equipment you will need (shell pants,... More

We made the trip to the Villarica volcano with them, booking one day in advance directly in their office in Pucón. The tour was perfectly organized, there were several guides in our relatively small group. We got all the necessary equipment for the ascent and for the very funny descent in form of sliding down in the snow on a... More

We climbed the Villarrica volcano with them after reading a positive blurb in the Lonely Planet. We wandered in at 9pm hoping to climb the volcano two days later. The owner suggested the weather was about to change and we should go the next day. They fitted us with gear and we were back 8 hours later, ready to go.... More

We did the Villarrica Volcano climb with Aguaventures and had an amazing day. The climb is a little tough but the guides went at a steady pace that was very manageable. Unfortunatley we couldn't see any lava as it is too deep at the moment, but the gases coming out of the active crater were impressive. So were the panoramic... More
