Our guide, Blas, was absolutely amazing! He was very informative and looked after our safety throughout the day and constantly checked in to see how we were feeling. He walked at a comfortable pace and made sure we were having a good time.

The guide Blas has a lot of experience. He explained each stage, was friendly and provided all the equipment required. The ascent was at a good pace and going down on the slider was a lot of fun. I wouldn't change anything to this experience. I'm taking with me great memories and photos.

A totally amazing experience. The guide was extremely helpful and very accommodating with the pace and stops up the volcano. Of course incredible views all the way. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

My husband and I were the only participants so we got, Lou, our wonderful guide all to ourselves. He spoke great English but also let us practice our spanish. It was a beautiful drive from town to the parking lot for the Termas Geometricas. We never would have found the trailhead or hiked such a remote trail on our own. It was great to have a guide lead us through the forest as we climbed up through many different ecosystems on the skirt of the volcano. It was interesting to have Lou tell us about the different plants and the culture of the indigenous people. Then we popped out of the forest and onto the basalt and tundra all around the skirt of the volcano. We were fortunate to have a clear warm day and some beautiful views. The hike down was steep but equally enjoyable. The geometricas were in a beautiful setting and so enjoyable. I would recommend this tour.

The hike was amazing thanks to Blas. He picked a very nice day for climbing. (I had a 3 days window of opportunity). The pace was perfect and he gave me all the necessary info and gear to feel myself 100% safe all the time. Also he gave me a surprise because we slide down from the mountain which was awsome. I can only recommend to hire him as a guide or use rutas outdoor company services.

It was great experience despite the weather was not perfect and Vulcan was in fog there was still a lot to see - beauty of Chilean nature. Trip was very well organised and I felt very safe with our guide Blas. In the finalisation of the trip we were resting in Termas Geométricos - fantastic place built with great taste and everyone can enjoy time in plenty of natural pools.

This trek is tough but well worth it for the views of the Volcano. Steep uphill followed by steep downhill. Only about 3 hours in total. Blas our guide was amazing . He was so helpful anytime we needed a bit of assistance. He provided poles for us which were a game changer. He drove us about two hours to the start. Very well organised. The hot springs were a great antidote to the trek. Very interesting place with lots of different pools for bathing. Locker & key provided so all your stuff is safe. I would suggest bringing a change of clothes so you travel back in fresh clothes.

Blas was a great guide! I felt safe and had an exciting adventure. The view was great at the top and the difficulty of the hike was reasonable. Everyone should try this!

We really enjoyed our day with Mariana and trekking in the National Park. Mariana was so full of joy, information and love of nature that it made the trekking really fabulous! We saw others doing the hike without anyone guiding them and they missed out on so much of the flora and fauna both large and small that we got to experience because of our guide. I also really appreciate how professional the booking process was and how responsive Rutas Outdoors was to all our enquiries. Excellent company! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This was the best experience of our trip (and we took many tours on our 3 week vacation). The staff organizing the trip ensured we were well-prepared for the hike. Joaquin, our guide, was very knowledgeable, funny, and encouraged us throughout the hike in all the right ways. He felt like a friend by the end of the day. The hike itself was difficult, but beautiful and very rewarding. The way down was extremely fun, sliding down the mountain. I would highly recommend it!

The trek is tough towards the start, but becomes more manageable as you climb higher. Along the way, I learned about the local plant life and culture, and saw amazing landscape views of the area. The summit is beautiful, especially with the light snowfall going on when I was there. The much-deserved hot springs afterwards is very relaxing too. Even though it was winter and the weather was cold, the springs were great, with several pools in different temperatures. Staff was also very friendly and accommodating!

Rodrigo was a great guide, very knowledgeable about flora/fauna, friendly, and fun to chat with. I hiked with my sister (we are 31 and 29 years old, fairly active people). We tried to contact the tour operator (Rutas Outdoors) several times via phone and WhatsApp prior to booking to see if it was suitable for our father (63, has had a hip replacement) and unfortunately never got any responses back. He didn’t end up coming which turned out to be very good - this hike is NOT suitable if you have any health conditions or fitness concerns. It was about 1-1.5 hours hours of steep upwards climbing, and several scrambles over fallen trees. We definitely earned the views at the top and the soak in the thermal pools afterwards!

I just sent a message on what’s app and got sorted so quickly. Super friendly staff - boots, gloves, backpack with all the snow bits in it and a little granola snack were all provided. I ended up being the only person on this particular trip with guide Blas and it was awesome! He is super knowledgable and knows the mountains so well - we had a bit of craic along the way too! Nothing like you’re own private tour😅 The summit was closed due to volcano activity being risky so I will have to come back again to get a look in the crater!

The hike was excellent, and the views were incredible at the top. It was pretty steep at some parts, so if you are new to hiking, I would recommend to go very slow. Mariana was an excellent guide, and was very knowledgeable of the plants and other species around. We were able to finish up our day at the incredible hot springs. These are the largest springs I’ve ever been to. There were so many to choose from, and a beautiful waterfall at the top. I highly recommend this adventure!

The Tourguides were incredibly kind, skilled, informative and understanding throughout the day. Definitely worth it!
