Daily itinerary

Day 1En route to Conguillío National Park

Your chauffeur will drive you to the Santiago airport so you can catch your domestic flight to Temuco. Upon arrival, you will be able to pick up your rental car and take the path to the Conguillío National Reserve! This beautiful park is dominated by the Llaima volcano, whose snow-capped summit rises to more than 10,200 feet and is home to native species such as the millennial araucaria trees.
You can then get settled in your comfortable cabin surrounded by nature. After, drive to discover the park’s places of interest: Laguna Verde, Laguna Conguillío, and Laguna Arcoíris (Rainbow Lake).

Day 2The unmissable Sierra Nevada hike

Today you will leave whenever you’re ready for the park’s unmissable hike, the Sierra Nevada! This 6-mile trek will offer you incredible views of Lake Conguillío, the Llaima volcano and the glaciers. Breathtaking landscapes are guaranteed! The hike rises to over 5,400 feet above sea level, offering two superb viewpoints. You will traipse through year-round snow and find yourself at the base of many waterfalls. Allow about 6 hours round trip.

Day 3Ascent of Sollipulli volcano and its glacier

Head to the Sollipulli volcano for an unforgettable ascent towards its glacier! This unusual adventure will take you through dazzling landscapes. Allow for about 8 hours of trekking and increasing difficulty in winter. On your return, enjoy a great massage or a relaxing moment in the hotel’s jacuzzi. You’ve earned it!

Day 4Skiing on the Llaima volcano

A morning of winter sports–skiing, snowboarding, or sledding–awaits you at the Llaima volcano ski resort.
