Sports and leisure activities Araucania

A French-speaking agency renowned for its cheerfulness and professionalism. All year round, a host of mountain activities are on offer: climbing the Villarrica volcano, river kayaking, hydrospeed, rafting, climbing, canyoning, paragliding, fly-fishing, dog-sledding (book in advance)... and much more. It also rents out bicycles (the best in town) and a variety of equipment (snowboards, skis, snowshoes...). Last but not least, this is the place to find out all you need to know about the weather. In short, you're in good hands!

Only 20 minutes away from Pucon, the slopes of the Villarrica volcano usually delight ski lovers in winter. Nine lifts and 20 runs are installed in this increasingly popular resort. There are even facilities for major international competitions. Normally, we rent skis and give lessons, private or group. The winter season takes place in July. An unforgettable experience and a unique souvenir: it is not every day that you will have the chance to ski on the slopes of an active volcano!

If you want to be on a first-name basis with the mountains while enjoying the thermal waters, this resort is for you! Its design architecture blends perfectly with the exterior setting: located at the foot of the volcano, the hotel enjoys an exceptional location. The central room, composed of large bay windows, is impressively elegant and the rooms have a privileged view of the araucaria forests or the volcano. On the program: skiing, heated swimming pool, massages and relaxation.

You want to overlook a breathtaking panorama? Skydiving is a rare moment of freedom and when it comes to jumping, it's best to make sure you're surrounded by nature's exceptional beauty. This small company, managed by a team of professionals, promises you its share of sensations. In a safe and supervised context, you will fall at more than 200 km/h before being able to admire the view over the parks and volcanoes: you can even see the crater of the Villarica volcano! An unforgettable experience.

After rafting, hydrospeed has become Pucón's most popular adventure sport. A little more fun and quiet than most water sports, here you can go down the rapids with a small board and in permanent contact with the water in the Trancura and Liucura rivers around Pucón. It's simple, you use the movements of the water, avoid obstacles and play with the waves. It is an activity for those who are not used to thrills and who have come to Patagonia to get a little thrill.

Over 1.2 km, ten footbridges (the longest measures 140 m) have been arranged at an average height of 25 m; speeds of up to 42 km/h are sometimes reached by sliding along zip lines and flying over the Valdivian forests. Designed for all ages, the circuit extends over an hour's ride among the coihues and copihues, near the Trancura River. The excursion is good-natured, with a good dose of vertigo and adrenaline. The guides, professionals and patients, are bilingual and specialized in their field. Nice!

A serious and reputable agency with more than 30 years of experience, which offers all kinds of activities: rafting, climbing the volcano Villarrica, trips to the thermal baths (Los Pozones, very nice), car tours in the lake region, horse riding, excursions to the Huerquehue park... We're in good hands and sure to have a good time. For travellers in search of thrills and sensations, the agency also offers canopy tours, parachute jumps and paragliding. Popular with all types of travellers.
