Sollipulli Volcano offers a full-day mountain hike combining volcanic slopes, forested paths, and panoramic summit views. You’ll spend the day ascending 1000 m and covering roughly 14 km, guided by certified experts. The journey mixes physical challenge with spectacular natural scenery and educational insights into the region’s volcanic and ecological features.
The day begins with an early drive from Pucón to the volcano’s base at 1200 masl, where guides provide a safety briefing and instructions for using the mountain gear. You’ll then start the ascent around 8 a.m., steadily climbing through mixed forest before reaching open volcanic terrain. Along the way, guides explain the geology, flora, and volcanic history of the area. Breaks are taken to hydrate, rest, and enjoy the views.
The summit is reached after approximately five hours of climbing, offering 360-degree views over the surrounding volcanoes, forests, and lakes. Descent takes around three hours, sometimes including controlled sliding on snow patches if conditions allow. Throughout the hike, guides ensure your pace is comfortable, offer technical assistance where needed, and document the experience with photos and video if requested.
Sollipulli Volcano is located in the Araucanía region, northeast of Pucón. The area combines native forest, lava fields, and volcanic slopes, providing varied terrain for a mountain ascent.
The region is home to endemic flora and diverse wildlife, creating a dynamic environment for exploration. Weather can change quickly in this area, so preparation and guidance from trained professionals are essential for a safe and enjoyable climb.
Good physical condition and general health are required due to the 1000 m elevation gain and 14 km round trip. You don’t need prior mountaineering experience, but comfort walking on uneven and snowy terrain is important.
You’ll need appropriate layered clothing and sturdy footwear. Guides provide full mountain equipment, including backpacks, boots, gaiters, gloves, helmet, crampons, ice axe, trekking pole, and sliding gear if conditions require.
Your ascent of Sollipulli Volcano is supported by certified guides experienced in mountain terrain, ensuring both safety and enjoyment. They handle logistics, gear, and planning so you can focus on the climb.
The team brings local expertise, equipment management, and weather awareness to every expedition. Their approach allows climbers of moderate ability to reach the summit confidently while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding region.
