Villarrica Volcano: Volcanic Caves and Vantage Point Sightseeing Tour｜Chile

The tour of the volcanic caves in Pucón is a short but very intense experience, ideal if you are interested in geology and adventure.

Where are they?
The volcanic caves are located in the area of Villarrica Volcano, near the National Park, and were formed by ancient lava tunnels that were left empty when the lava solidified on the outside and continued to flow on the inside.
‍
Access: You get there by walking along native forest trails.

Cave entrance: It's usually narrow, and in some sections you have to duck or proceed with caution.

Interior:
You walk through dark tunnels of volcanic rock.
The walls have wavy textures, solidified gas bubbles, and black, reddish, and gray colors.
The temperature is cool and constant, even in the summer season.

Lighting: A flashlight or helmet with a light is used (usually provided by the tour guide).

Tour guide: It is almost always guided, as the terrain can be uneven and slippery.

Difficulty level
Low to medium

It requires no previous experience, but basic mobility and not being very claustrophobic.

Safety
Helmet
Flashlight
Gloves (sometimes)
Shoes with good grip

What makes it special?
You walk inside a volcano, along ancient lava flows.

The tour guides usually explain the eruptive history of Villarrica and how the caves were formed.

It is a very different experience from the typical trekking or hot springs in the area.
