Not as well known as its explosive sister volcano Villarrica, climbing Quetrupillán in winter is an incredible experience. A lush walk through the forest leads to panoramic views of the snow-capped volcano. Its flat summit allowes us to have an impressive 360° viewpoint with stunning postcard views of the smoking Villarrica and the gigant Lanín volcano.

During summer, this ascent is a beautiful hike; when you arrive at its summit you will discover a huge glaciar inside its crater, and you can also see nice blue lagoons of melted ice.

The Quetrupillan volcano stretches 2,370 metres above sea level. It's an activity of medium dificulty.

5pm: Back to the car, we´ll have a beer or juice before leaving ! (sometimes we´ll have it at the agency).

We recomand you to visit us the day before the hike, so you can try the shoes and equipment and we can answer any question.
