Itinerary four days trail-ride National Park Villarrica

• 

  DAY ONE

  We pick you up in Pucon at 9.00 am, have breakfast, and then take off for an initial three to four hours ride crossing the Mapuche Indian Community Quelhue, decide which horse matches with which rider and which horses we will take with us. Either this evening or the next morning we move to our Villarrica base camp at "Paraiso Escondido" Valley.

  DAY TWO

  We enter Villarrica National Park by riding through dense forest, but after gaining elevation we leave the woods and arrive to a hilly area populated by lower vegetation and bushes. Around noon we reach the the dramatic lava and snow fields in the shadow of volcano Quetrupillan. This is the kingdom of the condor and there is a good possibility we will meet one of these giant birds. About three hours later we arrive to Laguna Azul, a deep, blue lake, where we will set up the tents on the edge of the forest overlooking the lake.

  DAY THREE

  From Laguna Azul we head towards Laguna Blanca, crossing a huge field of volcanic stones and riding around an ancient side-crater of Quetrupillan. After we arrive to the flat, black beach of Laguna Blanca, the landscape changes to a desert-like area with volcanic lava sand, interrupted by fields of snow. We ride on towards Laguna los Patos, with the mammoth volcano Lanin ever-growing in the distance, and return to our camp at Laguna Azul in the evening.

  DAY FOUR

  Leaving Laguna Azul, we ride back to the "Paraiso Escondido” valley and in the evening a Chilean Barbecue, "al Palo" and "choripan," is waiting for us at the Farm. Returning to Pucón after dinner. You may opt for another night at the ranch if you'd like.
