Pucon is centrally situated in the southern Chilean lake district and is a convenient starting point for a vast variety of activities. At Antilco we specialize in Horseback riding, but we love to organize a wide range of activities for our guests. To do this, we work with corresponding specialists in town: mountain guides, raft guides, etc.... Many activities can be done on your own, with nothing more than a map and a sense of adventure! For other excursions which require assistance, we`ll give you all the information you need to choose the right company for the exact activity you`re planning. Most activities and tours can be organized spontaneously, but others need to be arranged some days in advance. Travelers who are arranging excursions themselves, separate of a tour group, may want to consider renting a car for a day or two. In this area, having your transportation really makes a difference and will allow you to explore more remote areas. Day hikes in NP Huerquehue can be easily managed be with public transportation, but treks in the NP Villarrica will require a private transport /car. Most of the time 4x4 is not required. We can help arrange car rental as well. Prices are shown in Chilean pesos (CLP) and are basically meant to orient you. You can check the prices in your currency in the currency converter .
You can get there on your own, or take a public bus; bus + entrance fee about 20.000 CLP. Excursion to three beautiful mountain lagoons, surrounded by an ancient Araucaria forest. You can visit the Huerquehue National Park at any time of the year,although the large amounts of snow in winter may make it difficult to find the path.
Recommended to go with a mountain guide. Agencies in town provide a guide and all gear you need. Price including guide, entrance, gear and transport is about 90.000 CLP This trek is possible even without mountain experience. Travelers in medium physical condition will reach the top in 5 hours, and make it back down in 2. A glimpse of the boiling magma and stunning views out over the region makes it worth the effort.
Self-transportation only, no public. Entrance fee 10.000 CLP. Guided tour about 80.000 including Guide, transportation, and entrance fee. This terrain is easier to conquer than Villarrica Volcano. If you have good orientation in the outdoors you can do it on your own, otherwise hire a guide. The trek starts in low farmland, winds through forest and reaches the crater far above the tree-line.
