Description

Lonquimay Volcano is a beautiful volcano that is easily accessed from Pucón. It has an altitude of 2,865 metres and once you reach the top you’ll have spectacular views. This is one day trip you do not want to miss!

There have been three registered eruptions at Lonquimay, the most recent of which happened on the 25th of December 1988 creating the “Christmas crater” which at 800 metres long is one of the largest of the southern volcanoes of Chile. It’s also completely covered by a glacier.

Once we arrive at the base, it will take us five hours of hiking to reach the summit. We’ll cover all sorts of terrain from hard and crumbly rock, to ice and snow. The climb is not easy but it is pretty fun. Then, when we reach the top we’ll have time to take photos and admire the spectacular views which include different mountains and volcanoes such as Llaima, Villarrica, Lanín, Quetrupillan and Sierra Nevada. We’ll also be able to see lakes, rivers and monkey puzzle trees.

When we’re ready, we’ll start our descent which will take us around two to three hours. We’ll finish at our agency where we’ll share a drink, as we recap on the day. 

This is an adventure-packed day of climbing so to tackle this climb, you’ll need to have a good level of fitness and lots of motivation and enthusiasm.

Sign up now and we’ll be waiting for you to begin our ascent of Lonquimay Volcano.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
