As we ascend, we'll traverse the Pillan Ski Resort, catching impressive views of Lake Villarrica, which will accompany us throughout the entire journey until we reach the crater of the volcano.

At the summit, we will observe the billowing clouds of gas and water vapor that emanate from the depths of the crater. With a little luck, we may even catch a glimpse of the lava, all while enjoying a panoramic view that includes the Quetrupillán and Lanín volcanoes.

After relishing in the stunning views, we'll organize our descent, navigating through moderately inclined paths of around 30 degrees, until we reach the tranquil haven of the forest floor.
